Where the tracked conflicts are
Select a numbered marker or briefing below. Markers are approximate conflict locators, not territorial claims, front lines, or a complete map of every armed conflict.
- 1Has Russia Invaded Ukraine Yet?YESUkraine · In conflictRussia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022 and remains an active war. This page tracks frontline, strike, diplomacy, humanitarian, and international-support reporting rather than treating temperature as a pre-invasion forecast.
- 2Has Israel Invaded Lebanon Yet?YESIsrael and Lebanon · In conflictMarch 2026 invasion and continuing occupation in southern Lebanon.
- 3Has the US Invaded Iran Yet?NOIran · 70/100Ongoing strikes and retaliation in the region
- 4Has China Invaded Taiwan Yet?NOTaiwan Strait · 47/100China has not invaded Taiwan. The temperature reflects Taiwan Strait pressure from PLA air and naval activity, exercises, coast guard activity, rhetoric, and regional deterrence signals, but there is no confirmed blockade, quarantine, landing campaign, or direct attack.
- 5Has Iran Invaded Israel Yet?NOIsrael and Iran · 41/100Current sourced reporting does not show a new full-scale Iranian invasion of Israel. The temperature stays elevated because direct missile and drone precedent, proxy theaters, retaliation rhetoric, and regional deterrence can reconnect quickly, while diplomacy and operational limits keep it below the current direct-action threshold and far short of invasion.
- 6Has India Invaded Pakistan Yet?NOIndia and Pakistan · 35/100India has not invaded Pakistan. The temperature sits above quiet because Kashmir and Line of Control incidents, militant-attack attribution, domestic pressure, and force-posture signals can escalate fast, while crisis diplomacy and deterrence usually keep it contained.
- 7Has North Korea Invaded South Korea Yet?NOKorean Peninsula · 20/100North Korea has not invaded South Korea. The armistice structure remains intact, but missile tests, nuclear rhetoric, DMZ posture shifts, and alliance exercises keep the temperature above baseline without confirming imminent ground action.
- 8Has China Invaded the Philippines Yet?NOSouth China Sea · 16/100China has not invaded the Philippines. The temperature is elevated because South China Sea incidents around coast guard pressure, resupply missions, disputed reefs, and alliance deterrence can escalate quickly, even when the activity remains below a conventional invasion.
- 9Has the US Invaded Venezuela Yet?NOVenezuela · 11/100Abduction, courts, and cautious cooperation.
What this map includes
This is a focused map of country-to-country invasion questions maintained by HYIY. It is not a complete inventory of civil wars, insurgencies, occupations, casualties, territorial control, or humanitarian crises. Marker placement is approximate and exists only to help readers locate each tracked flashpoint.
How to read YES, NO, and KINDA
YES requires a confirmed invasion or continuing occupation campaign. KINDA marks limited direct or invasion-adjacent action. NO means neither threshold is currently met; it can still have a high escalation temperature. The map never treats a war label or a hot score as proof of invasion.
