An extended summary of all intentional attacks on civilian population in the regions controlled by Russia and elsewhere executed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, from 3rd to 9th of October.
The report presents an extended summary of all intentional attacks on civilian population in the regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporojye and Kherson, Belgorod and others, executed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the week from the 3rd to 9th of October.
Popular or official local telegram channels were used to obtain information on the attacks (see list at the end of report).
Since the war broke out on the 24th of February, the Ukrainian Army, under the command of General Valeryi Zaluzhnyi, has been indiscriminately shelling civilian buildings (markets, schools, residential housing), civilian gatherings and other facilities of non-military use, predominantly in the Donbass region, pursuing sole purpose of inflicting as much damage to the non-combatant population as possible.
Some notable examples are the shelling of Kramatorsk train station on the 8th of April, the Donetsk indoor market attack on the 22nd September, as well as the recent bombing of civilian transport heading for Russia-controlled part of Zaporojye on 30th of September.
87 people were killed and at least 155 injured from 26th of September to 2nd of October.

Methodology:
I did not attempt to count the total of shells launched, (nor total by type), as this information is often incomplete.
Not all attacks may have been recorded: the relatively minor ones, or those intercepted, may have unintentionally been omitted.
The total number of casualties is, most likely, an underestimate.
