第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克地区州长瓦伦丁·雷兹尼琴科在社交媒体上表示，周六的袭击已造成75人受伤，另有35人下落不明。

这次导弹袭击发生在星期六，乌克兰空军司令部表示，造成事故的是一枚从俄罗斯库尔斯克地区发射的Kh-22导弹。

军方官员表示，乌克兰军队当天击落了俄罗斯发射的33枚导弹中的21枚，但没有能力拦截Kh-22导弹。

The International Labour Organization has published its "World Employment and Social Outlook" report for 2023 and is warning the current global economic slowdown will force millions of people to accept lower quality, poorly-paid jobs.

国际劳工组织发布了《世界就业和社会展望：2023年趋势》报告，并警告称，当前全球经济放缓将迫使数百万人接受条件差、低收入的工作。

Lisa Schlein reports for VOA from Geneva.

美国之音记者丽莎·施莱因从日内瓦发来报道。

The International Labour Organization reports global unemployment will rise by 3 million for a total of 208 million this year with similar projections⁶ for 2024.

国际劳工组织报告称，今年全球失业人数将增加300万，达到2.08亿人，2024年的预测与此类似。

ILO director of work quality, Manuela Tomei, says both the quantity and quality of jobs will deteriorate⁷.

国际劳工组织工作条件部主任曼努埃拉·托梅表示，工作岗位的数量会减少，工作条件也会出现恶化。

For the first time since the 1970s, Tomei says stagflation conditions, that is high inflation and low growth combined, are threatening productivity and labor⁸ market recovery.

托梅表示，这是自1970年代以来，滞胀（高通胀，低增长）第一次对生产力和劳动力市场的复苏产生威胁。

"The Ukrainian war, geopolitical tensions, disruption in supply chains, high inflation, the tightening⁹ of monetary¹⁰ policies, and great uncertainty¹¹ overall are all contributing to depressing the prospects¹² for labor markets."

“乌克兰战争、地缘政治紧张局势、供应链中断、高通胀、货币政策收紧，以及总体上的巨大不确定性，所有这些都让劳动力市场前景暗淡。”
