Tool: Kinetic Operations

The deliberate use of kinetic actions, such as sabotage, assassination attempts, or targeted physical disruptions, to intimidate individuals, and destabilize and directly undermine democratic institutions, processes, or societies. Kinetic operations are included in the Tracker only when credible public attribution links these actions to state actors, ruling parties, or their proxies. Examples include physical sabotage of infrastructure, targeted attacks on political leaders, and orchestrated violent disruptions of democratic events.
