Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine kills at least 5,718 civilians, injures 8,199 more - UN

The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights shared the latest figures.

The UN report states that most deaths or injuries were caused by weapons that have a large impact area - artillery, multiple rocket launchers, missiles, and air strikes.

Among those killed across Ukraine there are 2,214 men, 1,526 women, 151 girls and 186 boys, as well as a further 35 children and 1,606 adults, whose gender has not been determined.

Among the wounded  there are 1,693 men, 1,250 women, 179 girls and 245 boys, as well as 211 children and 4,621 adults, whose gender is not available.

The report also includes data for August 2022. Thus, from August 1 to August 31, OHCHR recorded 1,162 injured and dead civilians in Ukraine as a result of Russian aggression. This includes:

- 294 killed (80 men, 79 women, 3 girls, 6 boys and 126 adults, whose gender is still unknown)

- 868 victims (217 men, 186 women, 22 girls, 17 boys, as well as 15 children and 411 adults, whose gender is still unknown)

According to the UN, 228 people were killed and 631 civilians were injured in the territories controlled by Ukraine as a result of Russia's aggression in August. In the territories temporarily occupied by Russia, 66 civilians died, 237 were wounded.

According to UN statistics for August, 287 civilians died and 821 were injured due to explosive weapons with a large area of   damage on the territory of Ukraine. Mines and other explosive remnants of war have injured 47 people m, and killed 7.

OHCHR notes that the actual figures are likely to be much higher than those presented in the report, as the receipt of information from places where intense fighting is ongoing has been delayed. In addition, many data are waiting for confirmation - in particular, they refer to the Kharkiv, Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
