Over 8,000 civilians, including 463 children, killed in war in Ukraine - UN

This is said in a civilian casualty update published on the OHCHR website, Ukrinform reports.

Among those injured, there are 413 boys and 295 girls, as well as 271 children whose sex is not yet known. According to OHCHR, 3,664 men, 2,173 women, 260 boys and 203 girls have been killed, as well as 31 children and 1,900 adults whose sex is not yet known

OHCHR believes 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. This concerns, for example, Mariupol (Donetsk region), Lysychansk, Popasna, and Sievierodonetsk (Luhansk region), where there are allegations of numerous civilian casualties.

As reported, from February 24, 2022 to March 13, 2023, the Defense Forces of Ukraine eliminated 159,800 Russian aggressors.
