EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD

Conflict in Turkiye

NOT LIVE · TURKIYE RECORD RUNS 1 JAN 2024 7 APR 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 7 Apr 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 32 events of organised violence in Turkiye from published sources. Their best estimate is 55 people killed — and their own range runs 54–66, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.
