In the Samara district of the Dnipropetrovsk region, two boys, aged 11 and 14, were reportedly killed in a shelling attack on Sunday night. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) announced this today.

"The lives of children and their families have once again been devastated by attacks on residential areas," UNICEF said in a Platform X publication.

Meanwhile, humanitarian organizations continue to assist people fleeing areas near the front lines. Staff are meeting evacuees at train stations, providing them with food, essential items, and hygiene kits, and helping them reach safe shelters.

In October, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), with financial support from the King Salman Rescue and Humanitarian Centre, donated over 2,000 hygiene kits to women and girls in the Dnipro, Kherson, and Mykolaiv regions.

The UN notes that civilians, including women and children, are bearing the brunt of the conflict, while shelling of residential areas and civilian infrastructure continues in many parts of the country.
