Impact verdict
Medium impact.

Evidence: Multi-country event spanning Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Croatia and Albania with active fires, deployed reinforcements and evacuations. Limit: No specific named insured assets, loss estimates, or commercial/industrial damage figures are reported in sourced coverage; insured loss scale remains unquantified.
