At least 328 civilians were killed and another 2,105 injured in Ukraine in September 2026, according to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.
The combined number of civilians killed and injured was 85% higher than in September 2025. According to the UN, this was the highest civilian casualty figure recorded for any September since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Between January and September 2026, the mission verified 2,570 civilian deaths and 15,211 injuries. The combined number of civilian casualties during that period was 59% higher than in the first nine months of 2025.
Long-range missiles and drones accounted for 53% of all civilian casualties verified by the UN in September.
The UN includes only cases it has been able to verify, meaning the actual figures may be higher.
