In 2013, the Monitor did not report any new casualties in the Republic of Panama.[1] The last recorded casualties happened in 2010 when an antipersonnel mine incident injured two border policemen along the Panama-Colombia border.[2]
The only other casualty recorded in Panama since 1999 was in 2004, when a 42-year-old farmer was reportedly killed in an explosion caused by unexploded ordnance in Piña, a former United States military range in Colón province.[3]
