Violence across Syria declined to its lowest level ever recorded over the past two weeks, with a total of 47 deaths confirmed — 34 between October 28-November 4 and just 13 deaths between November 4-11.

Of those 47 deaths in two weeks, 14 (30%) were caused by unexploded ordnance (UXO), meaning that the level of deadly kinetic violence recorded — 23 between October 28-November 4 and just 10 between November 4-11 — also represented a significant decline and a record-breaking low. These are encouraging signs in the context of four months of steadily declining levels of violence across Syria, as the country's political transition consolidates.
