OHCHR notes that the actual figures are likely considerably higher. OHCHR reports that most of the civilian casualties recorded were caused by the use of explosive weapons with a wide impact area, including shelling from heavy artillery and multiple launch rocket systems, and missile and air strikes.
Five months since the escalation of the international armed conflict in the country, deadly shelling and missile attacks continue, causing destruction, civilian injuries and deaths.
