It's taken me a couple weeks to get caught up on Daily Updates for @tochnyi and news map for @UkraineDailyUpd. My backlog began the day after Starlink restrictions were first reported on 14 Oct. due to the sheer volume of civilian casualty reports. According to official reports, Russian aggression killed at least 152 civilians and wounded at least 1161 between 15th-29th October. I also attempted to get a baseline idea of about how many civilians were either killed or wounded by Russian jet-powered UAS, which Starlink-equipped interceptors could've have theoretically intercepted. Between 14th October (the first day of reported restrictions) and 23rd October (the last day of reported restrictions), I was able to identify at least 37 civilian deaths and 268 civilian injuries from Russian jet-powered UAS. One caveat: there were many reports for which I couldn't find confirmation as to specifically what kind of weapons platform was used, so I was only able to make a floor estimate. The true human cost may indeed be higher. In the rest of this thread, I will give a day-by-day breakdown of all civilian casualties reported by Ukrainian officials and first responders at the oblast-level, with a link to our corresponding Daily Update. All sources used are cited within each Daily Update on Tochnyi.info/daily-updates and located directly below their corresponding data point for clarity and ease of access.
