On February 28, 2023, Russian attacks resulted in the deaths of two civilians in Ukraine's Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. Authorities confirmed that in Kherson Oblast, one civilian was killed, and three others sustained injuries due to ongoing Russian aggression. The attacks also inflicted damage on vital infrastructure, including a gas pipeline, a petrol station, and various vehicles, reflecting the continued targeting of civilian facilities by Russian forces.

In the Zaporizhzhia Oblast, another civilian was killed, with two others injured in a separate incident in the Zaporizhzhia district. This attack sparked concerns over the increasing frequency of assaults on civilian areas, as authorities reported 80 incidents of damage to homes and infrastructures in the oblast within just one day. These statistics underline the dire situation facing residents in these war-stricken areas, worsening the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

The cumulative toll of these attacks highlights the toll of the conflict on civilian lives and infrastructure, raising urgent calls for international intervention and support. The Ukrainian government continues to track and report these incidents as part of its efforts to document the impacts of the Russian invasion, which has continued to escalate despite global calls for peace and diplomacy. The situation remains volatile, with ongoing military actions likely to lead to further casualties and destruction in the region.
