Provisional. 15 reports published in or just after this month are still in the verification queue, so the count will rise as they clear. A lower figure here means a slower queue, not fewer incidents.

Incidents are counted by the date they happened, 2024-06-01 to 2024-06-30. Counts measure what was reported in the press the register reads and cleared verification; fleet sizes are not public, so nothing here is a rate. The register holds 255 cases in all. Rules on the methodology page. Previous month: May 2024. Quarterly view: the quarterly record.
