RIX 72 / 100 · 🔴 ACTIVE FIGHTING#

Precise: 71.67 (sum of 12 Escalation Levels = 860, ÷ 12) · Move since RIX-2026-080: -0.08 (was 71.75)

Wars at full scale Wars escalating Wars calming Ceasefire agreed
4 · Ukraine, Yemen, Sudan, Iran 11 of 12 1 · Lebanon 2 · Gaza, Lebanon

Verdict. The world number holds at 72 (71.67). Iran eases to 80 after the US midterms: Trump says there may be "no reason" for new strikes. The Komyshuvakha toll rose to 40. Our Ebola forecast resolved NO.

The day. Democrats took Congress, Vance blamed the war, and Trump says he has no immediate plans to strike Iran. In Ukraine, the aid-site toll reached 40 with dozens feared buried. Yemen's offensive turns to attrition.

5. CEASEFIRE WATCH#

How far each war is from stopping. Facts, not hopes.

Stage Wars
5 · Ceasefire holding —
4 · Ceasefire agreed Gaza (EL 66), Lebanon (EL 51)
3 · Talks under way —
2 · Talks planned Ukraine (EL 95), DR Congo (EL 70)
1 · Messages only Yemen (EL 91), Sudan (EL 89), Iran (EL 80), Myanmar (EL 61)
0 · No channel Ethiopia (EL 74), Sahel (EL 64), West Bank (EL 61), Pakistan (EL 58)

Reading the gap. Gaza and Lebanon both have ceasefires on paper (stage 4), but Gaza's EL of 66 says the killing has not stopped. Ukraine has the only dated talks (stage 2) among the full-scale wars. 4 wars have no channel at all.
