According to statistics recorded by Kolbarnews, in the first half of 1404 (Iranian calendar), a total of 37 Kolbars were killed or injured in the border regions and inter-road routes of West Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, Kermanshah, and other provinces, due to factors such as direct fire by regime military forces, landmine explosions, avalanches and frostbite, traffic accidents, and other incidents.
- Out of this total, 17 kolbars (46%) were killed and 20 kolbars (54%) were injured.
- Of the 37 kolbars killed or injured in the first half of 2025, 32 cases (86%) were the result of direct fire by military forces.
- Among these 37 kolbars, one (3%) was a child kolbar under the age of 18, who was killed by direct fire from Iraqi border guards (Haris al-Hudud).
Despite a 74% decrease in the total number of deaths and injuries in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, the proportion of deaths to total casualties increased from 25% to 46%. This shift indicates a rise in the share of fatalities and points to the increasing deadliness of incidents in the first half of 1404 (Iranian calendar).
