The most deadly conflict remains a war in Ukraine – almost 76 thousand died in 2023.
The world in 2024 has reached a new SAD record for the number of armed conflicts since World War II. This was reported by The Times, which refers to the information of the Swedish Project Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP).
In total, 61 of the So -called “State Conflict” was recorded, of which 11 grew throughout -scale wars with more than one thousand killed in the battles.
Experts note: civilians are increasingly dying in the accident, but have become target targets.
In 2024, the number of killed civilians as a result of attacks increased by 31% to 13,900 people. Most of the deaths caused Islamic State activities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The current level of violence has been a fourth size since 1994 – the time of genocide in Rwanda.
In general, last year, as a result of organized violence in the world, nearly 160 thousand people died. The most deadly conflict was the war in Ukraine – almost 76 thousand died in 2023.
UCDP also warns of increasing the number of conflicts and interstate cases when countries support armed groups outside their territory.
According to analysts, it creates dangerous dynamics, which can lead to more victims.
As we have written, on the night of June 10, Russia launched seven missiles and 315 drones around Ukraine. Most of them attacked Kyiv. Air defense forces were shot by all missiles and 277 drones.
As a result of a night attack at Kyiv, a woman died, Sofia Cathedral was damaged in the city.
