The United Nations says civilian casualties in Ukraine have reached their highest monthly level since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.
UN monitors reported that the latest attacks included a Russian drone strike on a train, which killed two workers. The exact number of casualties for the month was not specified in the report.
The increase marks a significant escalation in the war’s toll on ordinary people. The UN has repeatedly called for the protection of civilians, but attacks have continued across the country.
