EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD

Conflict in Honduras

NOT LIVE · HONDURAS RECORD RUNS 5 JAN 2024 20 MAY 2026

This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.

Between 5 Jan 2024 and 20 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 32 events of organised violence in Honduras from published sources. Their best estimate is 54 people killed — and their own range runs 42–73, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.

UCDP range 42–73.

29 placed precisely enough to map; 3 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.

Who was doing the killing

Non-state14 events · 10 killed (UCDP range 6–25)Two armed groups fight each other and neither is a government — militias, cartels, communal violence.
One-sided18 events · 44 killed (UCDP range 36–48)An armed group or government kills civilians who are not fighting back.
