EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD
Conflict in Libya
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 15 Jun 2024 and 23 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 9 events of organised violence in Libya from published sources. Their best estimate is 24 people killed — and their own range runs 24–25, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.
What the record holds
UCDP range 24–25.
5 placed precisely enough to map; 4 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.

Where UCDP had not yet established an actor’s identity it records a placeholder rather than a name; those appear here as “unidentified actor”.
The deadliest single event on record
UCDP's low and high agree on this figure. UCDP's low and high estimates are both 5 — the sources agree.
Unidentified actor · state-based violence — a government is one of the sides — a civil war or a war between states.
