More than 1,900 civilians killed: UN

The United Nations has recorded the killing of more than 1,900 civilians since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but warned the "actual figures are much higher".

Of the 1,982 civilians killed between 24 February and 14 April, 162 were children, said the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

A further 2,651 civilians had been injured - 256 of them children.

Most of the deaths and injuries had been caused by shelling and air strikes, the OHCHR said.

The High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet has previously expressed horror at reports of civilians killed in the town of Bucha, near the capital Kyiv, saying they raised "serious and disturbing questions about possible war crimes" and calling for evidence to be preserved.
