PROTECT CIVILIANS AMIDST WAR

Yet again, another unfathomable attack of the Russian Armed Forces killed and injured civilians, this time at the start of their day at a busy marketplace in Kherson City, south of Ukraine. The market and a public transport stop were also damaged.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion by Russian forces in 2022, thousands of people going about their daily lives in markets, schools and hospitals have never returned home due to the impact of the war.

Attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure are strictly prohibited under international humanitarian law and must stop.
