The U.N. report issued on Saturday said violence killed 856 civilians and 417 members of Iraq’s security forces. It said attacks wounded 2,010 Iraqis.
The worst-hit city was Baghdad, with 379 civilians killed.
The U.N. says the figures do not take into account causalities in Anbar Province nor some other militant-held parts of Iraq.
The October count apparently did not include the victims of the recent mass killings conducted by Islamic State group militants in Anbar Province against pro-government Sunni tribesmen.
The U.N. has said September’s death toll was 1,119 Iraqis killed. (SDF/KH)
