war casualties
Battlefield death toll
War casualties are persons killed, wounded, captured, or missing as a result of armed conflict.
The term encompasses both military personnel and civilians affected by warfare.
Casualty counts often distinguish between those killed in action, those who died from wounds or disease, and the wounded who survived.
The war casualties mounted as fighting intensified along the border.
In military reporting, casualty figures may also include soldiers taken prisoner or unaccounted for.
