U.S. and Israeli forces have launched at least 3,145 attacks in Iran and 110 have been intercepted, according to ACLED, a war tracking group.
Around 276 organised crime violence events were recorded by conflict analysts ACLED, the most since 2019. That is a 53 per cent increase on 2024.
Ladd Serwatt, senior analyst for Africa at ACLED, says: “The significance of the Oyo attack lies less in the state suddenly emerging as a major conflict hotspot and more in the symbolic breach of safety in Nigeria’s south-west.”
According to the ACLED database, national fatalities reached a record high in 2025, and al-Shabab is responsible for the large majority of conflict deaths recorded over the past two decades.
