The monthly total also marked a three -year -old high, at the top of June, in which HRMMU civilian deaths and injuries verified in 18 of the 24 regions of Ukraine.
“For the second month in a row, the number of civilian casualties in Ukraine will be a new three -year -old High,” said Danielle Bell, Head of hrmmu.
“Only the first three months after the Russian Federation launched the entire invasion of Ukraine on a full scale, saw more killed and injured than in the past month,” she added.
Rise
Figures for the first seven months of 2025 were 48 percent higher than in the same period last year.
Long -distance weapons, including rockets and suicide drones, accounted for almost 40 percent of the victims. On July 31, Kyiv saw his deadliest attack since the start of the entire invasion, killed with 31 people, including five children, when a rocket met a residential building.
Downs at a short distance alone caused 24 percent of the victims, which reflected a sharp increase since mid -2024, as documented in one bulletin Published by HRMMU in June 2025.
The steepest monthly increase came from air bombs, killing 67 and 209 were injured in July, compared to 114 victims in June. Strikes became a penal colony in Zaporizhzhia and an apartment building in Donetsk, with at least 21 people killing in total.
“Whether you are in a hospital or prison, at home or at work, close to or far away from the front line, if you are in Ukraine today, you run the risk of being killed or injured by the war,” said Mrs. Bell.
Burkina Faso: Blast hits near UN -Helicopter in Solle
A UN chartered helicopter who gave food aid to the city of Solle in the northwest of Burkina Faso in an explosion shortly after landing on Tuesday, in which two people were injured.
The plane, chartered by the World Food Program (WFP), had just released humanitarian supplies when the explosion took place in the neighborhood. One crew member and a government partner were injured and now receive medical treatment.
The helicopter only suffered minor damage and was moved to safety, WFP said. Flights to Solle have stopped temporarily while the authorities are investigating the incident.
Critical effect
In areas of Burkina Faso affected by conflicts, the humanitarian air operations of WFP are crucial for providing life -saving help to communities that are most in need.
WFP wants to help 315,000 of the most vulnerable people during the lean season from June to August, when families have exhausted their food stocks.

Rights Office urges Uganda to release opposition leaders on bail
The Un Human Rights Office (Ohchr) On Wednesday, serious concern about repeated denials of bail in Uganda for opposition leader Kizza Besigye and his employee Obeid Lutale.
Both individuals have been denied a bail three times since they were abducted in neighboring Kenya and returned to Uganda last November.
When rejecting their last request, the Supreme Court did not find them eligible for mandatory bail only because they had been held in the civil prison for less than 180 days to be eligible for release, an duration that did not take into account their prior degree of freedom after their abduction and forced return.
“We urge the authorities to reconsider the decision and to give them a bail, and to ensure that all legal proceedings against them are fully in accordance with international human rights legislation,” said Ohchr Spokesperson Liz Throssell.
Take care of human rights
The UN Human Rights Office in Uganda closed its activities there in 2023 after the government decided to end the collaboration with OHCHR.
At the time, Hoge Commission Volker Türk expressed his concern about the run -up to the 2026 elections, in the midst of an increasingly hostile environment that influences human rights defenders, civil society actors and journalists.
Other human rights mechanisms of the UN also convicted laws that make the relationships of the same sex punishable and the call for the use of the death penalty for convicted perpetrators.
