Our dataset includes ten distinct munition categories under the variable “Munition Type”. For filtering purposes, we chose to include only six of the ten identified munitions, as the research team has attributed these six types to specific incidents and included technical and contextual detail regarding their deployment in the munitions typology.

The other four munition types are based on indicative, rather than attributive, evidence: while different open, primary and secondary sources mention these four munitions, there is no clear evidence – physical, visual or otherwise – that allow us to definitely attribute and categorize these weapons.
