In a statement issued today by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights revealed that, 6,884 citizens were killed and10,947 wounded between Feb. 24 Dec. 26, indicating that the Russian forces used explosive and weapons with widespread range effects, such as heavy artillery shelling, multiple rocket launcher systems, missiles and air strikes, caused most of these civilian casualties.
The office confirmed that the actual numbers of victims were much higher considering the delay in receiving the information from intense hostilities locations, noting that many reports were still pending verification to confirm their credibility.
