EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD

Conflict in Syrian Arab Republic

NOT LIVE · SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC RECORD RUNS 1 JAN 2024 → 30 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 1 Jan 2024 and 30 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 1,727 events of organised violence in Syrian Arab Republic from published sources. Their best estimate is 7,448 people killed — and their own range runs 7,083–7,827, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.

What the record holds

DEATHS RECORDED · UCDP BEST ESTIMATE7,448

UCDP range 7,083–7,827. On 8of 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.

1,550 placed precisely enough to map; 177 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.

Who was doing the killing

State-based946 events · 3,627 killed (UCDP range 3,573–3,687) — A government is one of the sides — a civil war or a war between states.

Non-state413 events · 1,480 killed (UCDP range 1,477–1,510) — Two armed groups fight each other and neither is a government — militias, cartels, communal violence.

One-sided368 events · 2,341 killed (UCDP range 2,033–2,630) — An armed group or government kills civilians who are not fighting back.
