The civilian death toll in Ukraine last month rose sharply, to 174, which was the highest level in nearly a year amid an increase in missile and bomb strikes in populated areas around Kharkiv, the U.N. human rights office said on Friday.

The May toll represented an increase of 31 percent from April and the highest since June 2023, according to data from the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.
