3,238 civilians killed in Ukraine since full-scale Russian invasion started — UN
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) says that 3,238 civilians have been killed and 3,397 injured in Ukraine since the full-scale Russian invasion started on February 24, 2022.
According to the update, those killed include 1,162 men, 738 women, 71 girls, and 84 boys, as well as 72 children and 1,111 adults whose sex is yet unknown.
Those injured include 424 men, 337 women, 71 girls, and 82 boys, as well as 169 children and 2,314 adults whose sex is yet unknown.
Most of the recorded civilian casualties were caused by explosive weapons with a wide impact area, including shelling from heavy artillery and multiple launch rocket systems, missiles, and airstrikes.
OHCHR believes that the exact figures are considerably higher as the receipt of information is delayed from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on, and many reports are still pending corroboration.
