Ukraine: Over 16,000 Civilian Deaths Due to Russian Shelling, Death Toll Concerns
As of November 27, 2025, the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine reported that 16,230 civilians have been killed due to Russian shelling, a significant increase from previous years. The number of injured civilians also rose to 38,036, reflecting a substantial surge in casualties. This increase is attributed to intensified missile and drone attacks, particularly affecting infrastructure and residential areas, as highlighted by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine. These attacks have caused widespread damage, blackouts, and tragically, a rising death toll across the country.
