The U.N. says 1,119 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since the war began.
More than 1,100 civilians have been killed since the war began in Ukraine, the United Nations High Commissioner for human rights said in a report on Sunday.
The 1,119 civilians confirmed dead include 99 children, according to the report. Another 1,790 civilians have been injured, including 126 children, the U.N. said.
The report noted that the U.N. believes the actual figures of deaths and injuries are “considerably higher,” but that ongoing fighting has delayed receipt of some information and that other reports are still being confirmed. (For that reason the casualty toll does not include the besieged city of Mariupol.) The U.N. noted a report from Ukraine’s prosecutor general’s office that said 139 children have been killed and at least 205 have been injured.
Most of the deaths and injuries were caused by the use of explosive weapons that can impact a wide area, according to the report.
