Compiled from news reports: the outlets’ own sites, Google News’s index of them, and public Facebook posts that index carried. One record per incident, every report linked. Nobody publishes a register of accidents in the region, so this is what was reported in English or Filipino and indexed, and only that: a crash nobody wrote up is not here, and a town whose news lives only on Facebook is under-counted. Shootings are the one deliberate kind carried, those of clan wars and armed clashes included; bombings are not. The years before 2022 are thinly covered: fewer of their reports were indexed, so a quiet year on the map was not necessarily a quiet year. A dot sits on the barangay the report named where it could be located, otherwise on the town’s centre; a report that named only the province sits faintly at the province’s main town and adds nothing to the heat. Figures are as the last report gave them. Headlines belong to their outlets; BetterBARMM links to them and does not reproduce the stories. Sulu left the region in 2024 and is not mapped.
