UN: Last March was one of bloodiest months for civilians in Ukraine
New York - (Saba):
The United Nations said that last March was one of the bloodiest months for civilians in Ukraine, who are facing the devastating consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Danielle Bell, head of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (UNHCR), added in the latest monthly update of the independent human rights team that near-daily bombing by long-range drones killed and injured dozens of civilians across the country last month, disrupting the lives of millions more.
According to the latest report issued by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine on the protection of civilians, with at least 164 Ukrainians killed and 910 injured, March 2025 saw a 50% increase in the number of civilian casualties compared to the previous month, and a 71% increase in the number of civilian casualties compared to March of last year.
Kryvyi Rih, located about 65 kilometers from the front line, was among the hardest-hit areas, suffering five waves of Russian attacks that killed at least six civilians and injured 66 others.
Civilian buildings in the city—the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy—including two hotels and a restaurant, were among the sites hit.
The report indicated that approximately 29 medical facilities and 50 educational facilities were damaged by Russian armed forces over the past month, while two medical centers and six educational facilities were completely destroyed.
