Conflict in Venezuela, RB

NOT LIVE · VENEZUELA, RB RECORD RUNS 1 JAN 2024 29 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 29 Apr 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 33 events of organised violence in Venezuela, RB from published sources. Their best estimate is 144 people killed — and their own range runs 138–144, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.
