Abstract

Recognizing the pivotal role of casualties as a metric for assessing the success of terrorist acts, this study endeavors to unravel the underlying factors shaping the casualty count in drone terrorist attacks across the globe. By applying Zero Negative Binomial Regression Analysis on data sourced from the Global Terrorism Database, we discern significant factors influencing the number of terrorist casualties. Our findings reveal the paramount importance of the target facility's significance, the attack type, the utilization of remote-controlled drones, the deployment of suicide drones equipped with explosive payloads, and the audacious strategy of swarming drone attacks.
