UN confirms civilian casualties in Ukraine spiked 37% thanks to drones

Original version ·

Just when anyone thought cheap technology was going to make war more precise, the math hits a grim new level.

The UN dropped fresh numbers on Ukraine, and the jump in civilian casualties is brutal. We are looking at a 37% surge in dead and injured compared to last year, mostly because aerial terror by cheap electronics and glide bombs has become a daily routine.

Drones alone killed over four hundred people and injured thousands in six months, effectively doubling their destructive share. While international bureaucrats state the obvious about basic human life support systems crumbling, cities keep absorbing waves of flying mowers and long-range ballistic strikes.

Paper statistics are finally catching up to the loud reality everyone on the ground has been living through every single night.
