The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights announced today that 1,119 civilians have been killed in Ukraine so far and 1,790 have been injured since Russia invaded the country.
About 15 girls and 32 boys, as well as 52 unidentified children, are among the dead, the United Nations said in a statement on the period from the start of the war on February 24 to midnight on March 26. .
The actual number of casualties is expected to be significantly higher, according to the United Nations, as information from some areas where heavy fighting is taking place is arriving too late and some information is still in need of confirmation.
This mainly concerns the besieged Mariupol in southern Ukraine, as well as Volnovakia in the Donetsk region and Izium in the Kharkiv region, Popasna and Rubiznie in the Luhansk region and Trostanyets in the Sumy region, according to the United Nations.
Most civilian casualties were caused by explosive weapons with a wide range, including heavy artillery bombardment and multiple rocket launchers, as well as missile and air strikes, the United Nations said.
