Victim(s) name, age, sex	Date	Type of attack	Location	Notes	Refs
Farmer, male	9 July 2023	Provoked	Wapse Drenthe, Netherlands	A wolf had crawled under a fence and killed one of the farmer's sheep. The farmer tried to drive the wolf away with a pitchfork and a shovel, shouting loudly, but was then bitten on the arm, damaging his tendons. The man went to a hospital. Another sheep and a goat had to be put down because of injuries. This wolf was later shot dead by order of the mayor.
Nadia Terenzi, 56, female	21 May 2023	Unprovoked	Palombaro in the Abruzzo south of Pescara, part of the Maiella National Park, Italy	A 56-year old woman was walking her dog in her home village Palombaro (961 inhabitants) in the Abruzzo, south of Pescara, in Italy, when suddenly a wolf appeared and attacked her dog. When she tried to protect her dog the wolf jumped at her, she fell and injured herself. The wolf then dragged her dog away and only left a trail of blood into the surrounding forests. The second mayor Giuseppe Di Nardo was the first to arrive on the scene and alerted all the emergency services - including the Palombaro Forest Carabinieri and the National Park Authority. The rescue service eventually took the woman to the emergency room of the hospital in the neighbouring town. She had injuries to her wrist and knee. The dog is missing. It is assumed that he is a victim of the wolf attack.

In the Hilligensehl area, she was suddenly looked at from about 60 metres by three wolves, whose interest she apparently aroused, and who immediately started moving and running towards her. She turned her e-bike around and started pedalling: "I was alternately just yelling and crying," but the wolves did not stop from pursuing her. "They got to within four or five metres. I was clearly aware of them and heard their breathing." She was probably only able to escape because of the turbo gear of her e-bike, and was chased for about 200 metres until the first houses in the Ebbingen district came into view.
