    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.
