The number of civilian deaths in Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is 7.068, indicated the United Nations Office for Human Rights (Acnudh) this Monday.

Likewise, another 11,415 civilians have been injured in the course of the conflict.

The most dangerous regions for civilians since the beginning of the war have been Donetsk and Lugansk, territories partially and illegally occupied by Russia.where more than half of the deaths (4,121) have occurred and 5,782 people have been injured.

To date, they have identified among the deceased 2,800 men, 1,895 women, 223 boys and 180 girls.

“Most of the recorded civilian casualties were due to the use of explosive weapons with wide-area effects, including heavy artillery shelling, multiple rocket launch systems, missiles, and air strikes,” the Acnudh detailed.

Anyway, The human rights office warned that the figure provided this Monday is incomplete, since it considers that the victims in cities such as Mariúpol, Izium, Lisichansk, Popasna or Severodonetsk, all in the east of the country, there may be many more than those confirmed for now.
