During September at least 179 people were killed, and two bodies were found in an old mass grave. Another 294 people were wounded. At least 168 were killed, and 788 more were wounded across the country during August; much of that violence was due to protests.
Militant-related violence left at least 19 civilians, seven security personnel, and 62 militants dead. Another 36 civilians and 49 security personnel were wounded. Two people were found in an old mass grave.
Ongoing political protests left 10 dead and 140 wounded at the very least. Most of the wounded were reported to be security personnel, but it is likely that many civilian casualties went unrecorded.
