The outcome will be determined using credible, open-source reporting, including—but not limited to—reporting from ACLED, and the fatalities must occur among actual ENDF and/or EDF forces to count (ACLED). A qualifying lethal confrontation is one that results in a fatality (total, not each) for forces of either side, and the 25 or more fatalities must occur within 168 hours (one week) of each other to count. The confrontation and fatalities must occur during the question's open period to count. Militias not formally under the command of the ENDF or EDF will not be considered forces of either.
