4.3.3. Indiscriminate violence

The common analysis regarding the level of indiscriminate violence combines quantitative and qualitative elements in a holistic and inclusive assessment, which cannot exclusively depend on a minimum number of civilian casualties and deaths in the country of origin.

For more information on the methodology and indicators used to assess the level of indiscriminate violence in country guidance documents, see ‘EUAA, Indiscriminate violence in Country Guidance: explained, February 2026'.

The COI used as a basis for this assessment cannot be considered a complete representation of the extent of indiscriminate violence and its impact on the life of civilians. Concerns with regard to underreporting, especially pertinent to the quantitative indicators, should be taken into account.
