Impact verdict

Low impact. Loss pathway remains absent for London Market specialty books. The aircraft is a state-operated military Cessna under Bolivian Air Force / Ministry of Defence control; no commercial hull, liability, passenger legal cover, named insured, cargo, or third-party infrastructure loss has been identified across available sources. Six fatalities are corroborated by the Ministry of Defence and multiple mainstream outlets. Government self-insurance or state coverage is the expected primary recovery mechanism; severity remains below London Market specialty materiality thresholds.
