At least 184 civilians were killed and 856 wounded in Ukraine in August 2024, making it the second-deadliest month of 2024 after July. Similar mass incidents involving civilians occurred in different regions of Ukraine, including Kostiantynivka and Kharkiv, as well as in daily attacks near the front lines, especially in the Donetsk region.
The UN noted Russia's large-scale attack on energy infrastructure across Ukraine on August 26, which caused severe damage and civilian casualties. It was the ninth wave of such attacks since early 2024.
In addition, several educational and medical facilities were destroyed or damaged in August, with the vast majority of civilian casualties and damage occurring in government-controlled territory.
It is known that since the beginning of the Russian aggression, there have been a significant number of casualties among men, women, boys and girls. Children, including those of unknown gender, have also been injured.
