Ukraine says it recorded its highest monthly number of civilian casualties in the last four years of the war, highlighting a sharp rise in the toll on noncombatants. The new estimate from Kyiv points to one of the deadliest recent periods for civilians since the conflict began.
Officials said children were among those killed and wounded in the latest attacks reported on Sunday. The inclusion of young victims added to the sense of alarm surrounding the newest casualty figures.
Kyiv attributes the rise in civilian deaths and injuries to Russian attacks. While the full monthly breakdown was not detailed in the available report, the estimate indicates that the danger facing civilians has intensified as the war continues.
The latest figures underscore the growing human cost of the conflict, especially for families and children caught up in the violence. With Ukraine civilian casualties now at a four-year monthly high, the new assessment marks another grim milestone in the war.
