Number of terrorist fatalities in the EU 2010-2023

Published by Statista Research Department, Jun 2, 2025

There were six fatalities due to terrorist attacks in the European Union in 2023. Terrorist attacks were relatively low prior to 2015, with 2011 a clear outlier due to the July 22 attacks in Norway where a lone right-wing terrorist murdered 77 people in a single attack. The two years with the most deaths due to terrorism are 2015 and 2016, where a wave of Islamic terrorist attacks inspired and sometimes directed by ISIS swept across Europe.
