On Tuesday morning, Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on 12 Ukrainian regions and Kyiv, killing and injuring civilians. Damage to energy infrastructure led to power outages across Ukraine, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in the country reported today.
According to available information, three civilians were killed, including one child. Another 13 people, including three children, were wounded. The UN mission, citing Ukrainian forces, reports that 635 drones and 38 missiles were used during the attack.
Residential buildings and civilian infrastructure were damaged again in the Chernihiv, Odesa, and Sumy regions. As a result, many Ukrainians are left without basic services, including electricity, during the cold winter weather. "As the cold season begins, the most vulnerable people need support. This violence must stop. Civilians must be protected," stated the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Humanitarian workers are supporting those affected by the recent wave of large-scale attacks across Ukraine. In Kyiv, Odesa, Zhytomyr, and other regions, UN agencies and their partners are providing psychosocial and legal support, distributing emergency housing repair materials, and registering people for cash assistance.
