Sporadic and weekly Russian missile attacks have targeted Ukrainian infrastructure, military installions, and civilian structures/residences since September 2022. Ukraine reported that since the beginning of the war to December 2023, Russia had launched over 7,400 missiles and 3,000 Shahed drones alone at Ukrainian territory.
During today's Russian missile attack in Dnipropetrovsk region, reportedly, 2 people were killed, 15 were injured after a five-story building, and two infrastructure locations were struck.
On April 17th, at least 18 people were killed and more than 60 wounded in Chernihiv city center when Russian missiles struck, destroying a hotel and damaging adjacent residential buildings, a hospital, and a school.
Since the beginning of the war, over 10,000-16,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed as a result of Russia's invasion, with an additional 20,000 injured.
The U.N. HRMM had verified at least 604 civilians killed or injured in Ukraine in March, a 20% increase from February. Previously, in December, there was a 26% increase in civilian casualties.
At least 57 children were killed or injured in March as the result of Russian attacks, double from February.
"The March increase in civilian casualties was mainly due to attacks by the Russian armed forces using missiles and loitering munitions across Ukraine and increased aerial bombardments near the frontline," the Rights Office said.
