Civilian casualties highest in a year in Ukraine
GENEVA- Civilian casualties from shelling, mines and booby traps in eastern Ukraine are at their highest in a year as government forces and pro-Moscow separatists constantly violate a ceasefire, the UN rights boss said on Wednesday.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said at least 69 civilians had been killed or wounded in June, double the figure for the previous month, with the figure at 73 in July.
Casualties in eastern Ukraine casualties were the highest since August 2015, Zeid said in a statement.
