NOT LIVE · SRI LANKA RECORD RUNS 4 MAR 2026 4 MAR 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 4 Mar 2026 and 4 Mar 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 1 event of organised violence in Sri Lanka from published sources. Their best estimate is 104 people killed — and their own range runs UCDP low and high agree.
