Representatives of the organization noted that as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, 589 civilians died and 2,685 were injured.
In the summer of 2024, 45% more civilians (2,685 people) were injured than in the spring of the same year. In addition, between June and August, 589 civilians were killed as a result of the conflict in Ukraine. This is what the press secretary of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Liz Trosell, said in a briefing on Wednesday, October 2.
“With 589 killed and 2,685 wounded among civilians, the number of casualties increased by 45% compared to the previous three months. These trends continued in September. The number of civilian casualties in September should be as high as August.”
Intense military operations by the Russian armed forces have forced the Ukrainian government to evacuate thousands of people from front-line areas. Attacks on cities across Ukraine, such as Sumy, Kharkiv and Zaporozhye, damaged and destroyed civilian property and infrastructure, including schools, hospitals and even hospitals for the elderly, Trosell said.
Let’s recall that at dawn on October 2, the Russian military attacked the Izmail district of the Odessa region with Shahed attack drones. The Russians are targeting port and border infrastructure.
