According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, in the summer of 2024, 589 civilians died in Ukraine, and 2,685 were injured. These figures indicate a significant increase in civilian casualties, which is 45% higher than in the spring months.
With 589 killed and 2,685 wounded among the civilian population, the number of casualties increased by 45 percent compared to the previous three months. These trends persisted in September. The civilian death toll in September should be as high as in August. Intensive military operations by the Russian armed forces forced the Ukrainian government to evacuate thousands of people from the frontline areas. Attacks on cities across Ukraine, such as Sumy, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, damaged and destroyed civilian property and infrastructure, including schools, hospitals and even hospitals for the elderly
In August, as a result of hostilities in Ukraine, 184 civilians were killed, including eight children, and 856 civilians were injured.
