The UN human rights office reveals that more than 10,000 civilians have lost their lives in Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. Recent data indicates that half of these casualties occurred away from the frontlines. The actual toll is expected to surpass official figures as verification efforts continue. Explosive weapons, including shells, missiles, and cluster munitions, are responsible for the majority of deaths. Danielle Bell, the head of the monitoring mission, expresses concern over the grim milestone and warns of the ongoing risk of a protracted conflict with an unbearable human cost.
