Can you point me to any wars in which no non-combatants were harmed, such as those fought entirely at sea? I'm particularly interested in recent wars.

Naval warfare harms trade in general, so it does hurt non-combatants.

I asked for examples in which no non-combatants were harmed, not examples in which non-combatants were harmed.

The 1967 and 1973 Arab vs. Israel shitfests both took place in the desert, so the vast, vast majority of deaths were civilians.

Not recent, but in ancient Hindu kingdoms warfare was carried out exclusively by the Warrior castes, and battles would occur a few hundred metres from a field where farmers were tending their crops, because the Vaishya class farmers knew that they were not a part of this, as did the warriors: the Kshatria.

At some times in Japan during their earlier history warfare may have been exclusively carried out by Samurai as a highly ritualised event exclusively participated in by warriors.
