Conflict in Pakistan

NOT LIVE · PAKISTAN RECORD RUNS 2 JAN 2024 → 31 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 2 Jan 2024 and 31 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 2,314 events of organised violence in Pakistan from published sources. Their best estimate is 6,852 people killed — and their own range runs 6,318–10,226, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.

What the record holds

DEATHS RECORDED · UCDP BEST ESTIMATE6,852

UCDP range 6,318–10,226. On 2of these events UCDP’s own bounds do not bracket its own best estimate; the range above spans everything it published rather than hiding the conflict in the figures.

EVENTS2,314

2,208 placed precisely enough to map; 106 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.

Who was doing the killing

State-based1,881 events · 6,025 killed (UCDP range 5,716–9,107) — A government is one of the sides — a civil war or a war between states.
Non-state27 events · 309 killed (UCDP range 302–336) — Two armed groups fight each other and neither is a government — militias, cartels, communal violence.
One-sided406 events · 518 killed (UCDP range 300–783) — An armed group or government kills civilians who are not fighting back.
