Military Operation Announced, Troops Move into Sulasburg

Following the second attack yesterday on the Venoanese border perpetrated by Suleonese forces, the Venoanese Parliament and military command have elected, in an emergency meeting yesterday evening, to begin a military operation into the neighboring regions of Sulasburg to better secure Venoanos borders against Erl'u. The Minister of Defense had this to say as the assembly dispersed:

"Sulasburg has proven themselves completely incapable in enforcing their own borders as is expected of any nation, and could be argued as being even complicit in the recent wave of border attacks on Venoano. It is for this reason that we have decided to undertake a military operation to occupy the Sula border-regions ourselves. We as the military want to assure the public that we have put in place a strict rules of engagement as well as welcomed foreign observers to the conflict, in order to minimize any Sula civilian damages. But we will NOT remain on the weary defensive while our borders are battered and our neighbors shrug."

This historic move marks the breaking of Venoanos symbolic military neutrality, though the government has assured that "our long-standing policy of neutrality is something we wish to return to following this operations cessation". Regardless, the move has been met with mixed reactions, but has generally been celebrated by the public in light of the two recent attacks.

The military operation began at 1:00 AM, and an estimated initial ten thousand troops of the Venoanese Army have been mobilized and deployed as the main force of the operation. Watchdog parties have reported the presence of unmarked convoys and soldiers, raising the question of whether or not the Venoanese government is hiring mercenary organizations: they neither confirmed nor denied so far. God bless our troops, and God bless Venoano in this most turbulent hour.

For Glory and for God! Respublica Superiorem non Recognosems!

Tragic Mass Suicide Unfolds in North Gilead: Government and Citizens Succumb to Divine Mandate

Government members and a substantial portion of the North Gilead population have taken part in a mass suicide, believing it to be a divine mandate of Gileadean Christianity. The event has been broadcast live on television screens throughout the region, leaving viewers stunned and horrified.

With unwavering resolve, government officials lead the procession, clad in ceremonial attire and invoking prayers of absolution. Citizens follow, their faces etched with a mix of fear and passion as their faith has driven them to embrace the ultimate sacrifice in anticipation of divine salvation. As the cameras capture the solemn march towards the appointed site of the ritual, the gravity of the moment weighs heavily on the hearts of those watching. As the final moments approach, families hold hands tightly, seeking solace in their shared conviction, while onlookers struggle to comprehend the magnitude of what unfolds before them. One by one, individuals step forward, willingly surrendering themselves to the abyss of oblivion in the name of their faith.

In the aftermath, a stunned silence descends upon the lands of North Gilead, broken only by the distant wails of mourning and the hum of television screens broadcasting the spectacle to the world. The nation stands as a testament to the destructive power of fanaticism, its streets now haunted by the echoes of a faith taken to its darkest extremes...

The White House Situation Room watches the mass suicides take place in sheer horror and upset. An executive order was immediately issued for the elimination of the broadcasts from Carolinian screens to shield the population from the event. A silence dominates the Situation Room while President Claire Hale comes to a resolve.

The famed General Diyoza is to lead a force across the Norfolk-Bethlehem Island border, where in which her forces while secure the island and establish sites for aircraft to safely land on the island. Diyoza should recover any survivors and with care, send them to the state of Norfolk where the local hospitals, schools and other public buildings are being set up as refugee camps and assistance. Several Carolinian Union Navy ships are set to restablish the previous blockade of the island, where they will work as secondary points for humanitarian relief to be sent on the island. Both Bethlehem Island, and the island above it (Prince Edward Island, don't know if you named it?), will fall under the protection and authority of The Federal Republic of United Carolinia. (Potenzia, please add this to the map upon its next update, thank you!)

The mass amounts of bodies are to be identified and moved to a location where they will not affect the soldiers and survivors with any disease should they be left to rot. Several cargo ships have been hired, where their several shipping containers on board have been preppred to safely and correctly store the bodies until they can be given back to any surviving family members or friends.

President Hale also sent out a notice to the LofN, expressing that they should concern themselves with the same approach in the illegal occupied Gilead territories of New Foundland and Labrador. For it was the League of Nations complacency and neglect, that allowed the unstable regime of North Gilead to inflict itself on more innocent people. United Carolinia and President Hale are further given more reasons to leave the League of Nations, which is gradually becoming the popular opinion of many politicians and Carolinian's.

LofN Secretaris Andrew Duncan react:

North Gilead is a terrorist state that must be destroyed. The Carolinian government is doing good with this peace mission, saving thousands of people. United Carolinia should be rewarded and made a permanent member of the Security Council, as they themselves have proposed. The LofN is the only organization that maintains worldwide, and urgently needs to reinvent itself. Starting by making United Carolinia a permanent member of the security council. We should vote on it soon.

Elites capture City Government Complex of Kursk while Battle is ongoing

In the heart of Kursk, nestled among its bustling streets and iconic landmarks, lay the focal point of Tula-Tambov's military campaign: Operation Phoenix. Named for the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes, this mission symbolized the rebirth of hope and the pursuit of justice for the innocent lives lost to UKAK's acts of terror. As dawn broke over the city, Tula-Tambov's elite Special Operations Group, led by Colonel Mikhail Petrov, launched their assault from the eastern outskirts of Kursk. Their objective: to swiftly infiltrate enemy territory, neutralize resistance, and secure key strategic points before advancing deeper into the heart of the city. The first phase of the operation saw Colonel Petrov's team utilizing advanced stealth technology to evade detection as they navigated through the labyrinthine streets of Kursk. Moving with silent precision, they avoided enemy patrols and surveillance, closing in on their primary target: the UKAK-controlled government complex located in the city center.

With a thunderous roar that shattered the stillness of the night, Tula-Tambov's armored divisions launched a diversionary assault on the city's outskirts, drawing UKAK's attention away from the true objective. Meanwhile, Colonel Petrov and his Revenants descended upon the Government Citadel like avenging angels, their weapons flashing in the moonlight as they cut through the enemy ranks with ruthless efficiency. As dawn broke, Colonel Petrov and his team moved swiftly to consolidate their position, establishing a forward operating base within the government complex. From this strategic vantage point, they coordinated with reinforcements from Tula-Tambov's armored divisions, who moved in to reinforce their position and provide additional firepower.

Meanwhile, in the streets surrounding the government complex, fierce urban combat raged as Tula-Tambov's infantry units engaged UKAK's defenders in close-quarters battle. The sound of gunfire echoed through the streets, mingling with the shouts of soldiers and the rumble of armored vehicles as Tula-Tambov's forces pressed forward, inch by inch, towards victory. As the day wore on, the tide of battle turned decisively in favor of Tula-Tambov.

Belgorod is the new objective.

With the capture of Kursk marking a pivotal turning point in the conflict, Tula-Tambov's momentum surged forward as they set their sights on their next objective: the strategic city of Belgorod. Situated on the border between the SaSu's new Ukraine land and UKAK-controlled territory, Belgorod represented a critical chokepoint in the ongoing struggle for dominance. It is also clear that the first lines of UKAK have been broken through and that the country had little to offer. The country is falling, the Savranakas Suurvaltas, under the name of Tula-Tambov, now knows how to cut through the country like butter. However, the butter has a lump here and there, the troops have to keep waiting for supplies, which are sometimes stuck behind a bombed bridge.

LofN Ambassador Raimondas Jasakov of Sjevre reacts:

"What we have just witnessed is not justice; it is a grotesque mockery of humanity, a spectacle of cruelty that stains the very fabric of our shared values.

Let us dissect this travesty of justice, this parade of savagery masquerading as civic duty. Three individuals, two chemists and a curator, stand accused of crimes against the state. But what is the response of the Milidae authorities? Do they seek to uphold the principles of law and order, to ensure a fair trial and just punishment? No! Instead, they offer a menu of torture and death, as if the fate of these individuals were a matter of entertainment, to be decided by the whims of a bloodthirsty mob.

First, let us address the fate of the chemists. They are condemned not to imprisonment or rehabilitation, but to death by the very substance they are accused of creating. This is not justice; it is revenge, plain and simple. To subject individuals to the same fate they are accused of perpetrating is not only morally bankrupt but also utterly devoid of any semblance of legality or fairness.

And what of the curator? For what crime is he condemned to suffer the excruciating agony of a patterned cut on his chest, leading to a fatal outcome? Is this the punishment befitting someone accused of involvement in the creation of a drug? No reasonable person could argue so. This is nothing short of sadism, a perverse desire to inflict pain and suffering for the sake of satisfying some twisted sense of retribution.

But perhaps most egregious of all is the complicity of the citizens of Milidae in this atrocity. They have not only condoned but actively participated in the selection of these monstrous punishments, turning a blind eye to the fundamental principles of justice and humanity. Their hands are stained with the blood of their fellow human beings, and they must be held accountable for their role in this travesty.

And lastly, the broadcasting of these atrocities by the Milidae authorities is a sickening display of moral bankruptcy, stripping victims of dignity and degrading us all as witnesses to their suffering. This inhumane spectacle drags us into the depths of depravity and must be condemned. Those who tune in are complicit in a crime against humanity and must be held accountable.

I rest my case."
