Ukraine has seen a dramatic rise in civilian casualties in the first 11 months of 2025, with deaths increasing by 70% compared to the same period in 2023.
The United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission report notes that this figure is also up 26% compared to 2024, Caliber.Az reports, citing UNIAN.
In November alone, at least 226 civilians were killed and another 952 injured, with half of the fatalities caused by long-range missile strikes.
“Almost half of the victims were in frontline regions, where the main threats are short-range drones, artillery, and airstrikes,” Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said.
