Terrorism can occur in any country, at any time and at any place. Although most of the world is focused on fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, April and May 2020 saw daily terrorist attacks across the globe. Knife attacks, bombings, attacks by drones and missiles killed hundreds of civilians, children, soldiers - at funerals, on markets and in mosques in countries like France, Afghanistan, Nigeria and Yemen.
