Reporting cutoff: 3 October 2026. The situation is not settled, so every figure here is a dated snapshot, not a final total. Claims and figures belong to the named source, not to The Blue Grid Files. Where outlets differ on a date or figure, the file says so, and where nothing reliable exists, it says unknown.
