Original: War in Ukraine leaves over 15,000 civilians dead or injured in first eight months of 2026, UN reports
The United Nations reports that more than 15,000 civilians in Ukraine were killed or injured during the first eight months of 2026 as the war with Russia continues. The figure underscores the ongoing toll on non-combatants, with casualties driven by shelling, missile and drone strikes on populated areas. The report adds to previous UN tallies documenting the human cost of the conflict since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.
Why now: The UN's new casualty figures highlight the continuing heavy civilian toll of the war in Ukraine.
