❗Russia uses uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) to target civilian and military sites in Ukraine. In March a UAV attack on an apartment block in Odesa killed 12 civilians including five children. It would prove to be the first of many attacks that month. In total the UN records at least 604 civilian were killed or injured in March. The majority were a result of Russia's use of UAVs and other loitering munitions and missiles. In June Ukraine successfully struck a UAV launch site, destroying at least 120 UAVs. Limiting Russia's ability to launch UAV attacks in the immediate future. The United Nations High Commission for Human Rights, has reported that the majority of civilian casualties in Ukraine are caused by the use of explosive weapons in populated areas, these weapons include UAVs. With one UAV site wiped out there is hope that 2024 rising civilian casualty toll may begin to fall. 🇺🇦#StandWithUkraine
