It is also reported that between August 16 and November 15, 2016, OHCHR recorded 164 conflict-related civilian casualties in Ukraine. Due to the renewed commitment to the ceasefire on September 1, there was a 13 per cent decrease compared to the previous reporting period.
”In October, OHCHR recorded eight times more civilian casualties in armed group-controlled territories than in Government-controlled areas of the conflict zone, indicating that civilians in territories controlled by the armed groups continue to be particularly at risk of injury and death,” the report says.
