EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD

Conflict in Indonesia

NOT LIVE · INDONESIA RECORD RUNS 5 JAN 2024 → 21 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 21 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 171 events of organised violence in Indonesia from published sources. Their best estimate is 289 people killed — and their own range runs 225–338, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.
