    Looking at the wiki it is claimed casualties including injuries. Confirmed are apparently a fraction of that.

    I wouldnt be suprised if we would have a very different outlook after the war actually ends.

      Casualties do include injuries unless otherwise mentioned

      A casualty, as a term in military usage, is a person in military service, combatant or non-combatant, who becomes unavailable for duty due to any of several circumstances, including death, injury, illness, capture or desertion.

      It is sometimes misunderstood to mean “fatalities”, but non-fatal injuries are also casualties.
