Cluster munitions killed or injured 1,063 people worldwide in 2025, annual report finds

The Cluster Munition Coalition's annual report documents at least 1,063 cluster munition casualties in 2025, continuing a persistent pattern of post-conflict harm. The report underscores the long-term humanitarian impact of these weapons, with victims often civilians, years after conflicts end. This data reinforces calls for broader adherence to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, though major producers like the US and Russia remain outside it.
