DISCLAIMER

Most of the data collected by ACLED is gathered based on publicly available, secondary reports. It may thereforeunderestimate the volume of events. Fatality data particularly is vulnerable to bias and inaccurate reporting, andACLED uses the most conservative estimate available. Furthermore, event data may be revised or complemented infuture updates. The lack of information on an event in this report does not permit the inference that it did not takeplace. The boundaries and names displayed do not imply endorsement or acceptance by the Austrian Red Cross.
