The number of war incidents recorded by Seerist increased by about 11% compared with Q3 2024. The Ukraine conflict remained the dominant source of incidents. Nevertheless, incidents in Russia noticeably declined by about 30%, reflecting a reduction in Ukrainian cross-border drone attacks. The escalation between the Lebanese Shia movement Hizbullah and Israel prompted incidents in Lebanon to more than double quarter-on-quarter. Recorded terrorist attacks recorded rose by almost a quarter in the final months of 2024. The escalation in the Middle East drove a ten-fold increase in attacks in Lebanon, as well as a smaller rise in Israel. Similarly, Yemen recorded an uptick off the back of Houthi militant attacks. Global unrest incidents declined by 15% compared with Q3. The ousting of Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024 precipitated an approximately 50% decline in unrest incidents in Bangladesh in Q4. Other unrest drivers in the quarter included the constitutional crisis in South Korea and the US elections.
