Russia's own draft (S/2026/870) for a one-year extension to Oct 31, 2027 failed to win the nine votes needed, with the US voting against. The mandate expired at midnight on Saturday Oct 31.

At the end, MINURSO had about 200 civilian staff, military observers and staff officers, nine team sites and a Tindouf liaison office. Secretary-General Guterres voiced concern about the risk of hostilities escalating and urged maximum restraint; Personal Envoy Staffan de Mistura continues the political track.
