[1]The incidents of violence, arising out of political conflicts, such as anti-state and / or anti-government insurgencies and counter-militancy campaigns, reported in national and internal media organizations, are recorded on daily basis. These incidents are divided into three broad categories, i.e., security forces actions, militants’ activities and others. The former refers to the actions of armed forces, paramilitary forces, police etc. These actions have been further divided into air-raids, security forces operations (which include all ground operations including search and clearance operations), shelling, and others. The militant activities refer to all sorts of insurgents’ actions carried out by anti-state or anti-government elements against security forces, government machinery, and civilians. These activities are further divided into assaults (including raids and ambushes), bomb blasts, suicide attacks, and target killings etc. The third or the other category includes drone attacks, cross border firing / shelling, mysterious killings, suicides etc. The data is processed for each country and province / region as well as attack-wise for each month.
