Global conflict events, particularly those manifesting as explosions and wars, have increased in recent years. This was revealed by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) in its Yearbook 2025 report.

According to the report, there were approximately 54,200 explosive events worldwide in 2022. This number increased to approximately 98,200 explosive events in 2024.

SIPRI defines "explosive events" as incidents where one party attacks another using explosive devices or long-range weapons with massive destructive power, such as bombs, grenades, artillery, missiles, drones, suicide bombs, and so on.

In addition to explosions, SIPRI also noted an increase in battle events.

In 2022, there were approximately 37,200 battle events worldwide. This number increased to approximately 52,500 battle events in 2024.

SIPRI defines "battle events" as acts of violence between two organized armed groups, encompassing clashes between military forces of different states, between a country and a non-state group, and between non-state groups.

"In 2024 the global armed conflict landscape continued to deteriorate, with large-scale violence across multiple regions," SIPRI stated in its report.

"More people were killed in armed conflict, were forced from their homes or needed humanitarian assistance than in recent years, probably for decades," it added.

According to SIPRI, global conflicts have highly diverse and difficult-to-generalize root causes. However, each conflict is linked to the arms industry and specific funding sources.

"To sustain armed violence requires resources in the form of arms and money for military expenditure. The means to obtain these typically include taxation, the illicit economy (e.g. trafficking and drugs) and external sponsorship (e.g. foreign state funding or international arms transfers)," SIPRI stated.

"The contours of the Russia–Ukraine war, for example, have been shaped by the military-industrial bases of not only the conflict parties but also their allies and supporters," it continued.
