According to OHCHR, 253 men, 194 women, 43 girls and 40 boys, as well as 100 children and 1,565 adults, whose gender has yet to be determined, were injured.

The majority of deaths and injuries are reported to be due to the use of munitions and explosives, in particular heavy artillery and multiple launch rocket attacks, as well as rocket and air strikes..

OHCHR notes that the actual figures are much higher as information from some regions where intense fighting continues is delayed and many reports are still pending confirmation..



In particular, this applies to Mariupol and Volnovakha (Donetsk region), Izyum (Kharkiv region), Severodonetsk and Rubizhne (Luhansk region), Trostianets (Sumy region), where there are reports of a large number of civilian casualties. These figures are further confirmed and are not included in the statistics above..
