July goes down as the deadliest month for civilians in 4 years

Original version ·

The UN finally admitted what we’ve been feeling: last month was the worst for civilian casualties since the invasion kicked off.

Tom Fletcher, the deputy chief of the UN, just dropped the news during a Security Council meeting. It turns out July set a grim record, making it the most lethal month for regular people in over four years.

The big takeaway? FPV drones have become the primary threat, with attacks spiking by 60% this year. It is not just the frontlines anymore; 70% of patients in a hospital just a kilometer from the river are showing up with blast injuries from these things. It’s reached a point where aid groups are basically running on a treadmill, trying to prep for winter while the intensity just keeps climbing.

Apparently, sitting in a fancy hall in New York and talking about human rights doesn't actually stop a drone. Reality is hitting hard when international observers see hospitals overflowing with people who were just living their lives.
