Published by Statista Research Department, Mar 13, 2025

In 2023, a total number of 14,351 people worldwide were injured as a result of terrorism. By comparison, the highest number of people were injured due to terrorism in 2007, reaching 44,000. However, the exact level of people injured in terrorist attacks worldwide underlines a high level of uncertainty and should be taken with caution.

Supplementary notes

Terrorism is the systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion. In the international community, however, terrorism has no universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political or ideological goal, and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians).
