• Hostile: Three fatal, five captured, one unaccounted (presumed fled on foot; Inter-Division tracking active).
  
  

• Civilian: None.
  
  

• Collateral: One truck destroyed by operators to prevent secondary detonation.
  
  

6. Post-Action Assessment

Operation Market Crisis achieved full mission success. No public exposure occurred, and priority anomalies are in secure containment. Agent Vincent’s decisive action during the thermite incident directly prevented loss of Crate 03 and safeguarded personnel; commendation for valor recommended despite probationary status.

Further analysis of mob financial ledgers suggests additional artifact shipments via Kaliningrad corridor. Iota-10 liaison team will coordinate with Baltic assets for follow-up interdictions.
