nowadays, violent conflicts are normally confined to districts not visited by foreigners,  and are unlikely to affect wary foreign visitors.

petty, non-violent crime, still occasionally affects touristic hubs, especially during the summer when pick-pocketing is often reported, but armed robberies have decreased significantly. these districts are quite safe, even if random acts of robbery and thefts can occur - especially late at night or as a result of displaying expensive phones and electronics.

these ocurences are usually non-violent, and the best protection is always prevention - avoiding carrying visible jewelry or valuables, avoiding deserted streets, always taking taxis late at night, and never reacting aggressively if approached.
