From 1 to 31 March 2023, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recorded 765 civilian casualties in Ukraine.
According to the OHCHR’s press release, 178 civilians in Ukraine were killed (100 men, 51 women, 7 boys, 1 girl, as well as 19 adults whose sex is not yet known); and 587 more were injured (251 men, 116 women, 23 boys, 2 girls, as well as 2 children and 193 adults whose sex is not yet known).
It is specified that most casualties were caused by explosive weapons with wide area effects, mines and explosive remnants of war.
In total, since February 24, 2022, the UN recorded 8,451 civilians killed and 14,156 injured in Ukraine.
OHCHR notes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration.
