World Forum Confirms Zuhlgan Has Disabled Nuclear Warheads, But Retained Warhead Cores
BREAKING— The World Forum has independently confirmed Zuhlgan’s claims that they have successfully disabled the nuclear warheads previously targeted during the ongoing Gulf conflict. However, Zuhlgan has stated that they will not agree to surrender the two cores from the warheads at this time, raising concerns over the potential for continued escalation.
In a press conference, a spokesman for the Zuhlgani Foreign Ministry said, “While we have taken steps to de-escalate the situation by disabling the warheads, we will not compromise our national security by handing over critical strategic assets. The Krauanagazan and Emeraldian provocations have threatened the stability of the entire region, and we will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard our sovereignty.”
The spokesman further emphasized that any further attacks on Zuhlgani territory or assets would be met with a, “swift and decisive response.” The Zuhlgani government reiterated its stance that the retention of the warhead cores is a necessary precaution against what they describe as “unrelenting aggression” from Krauanagaz and its allies.
Meanwhile, Krauanagazan officials have condemned Zuhlgan’s actions as a provocation and have called on the international community to pressure Zuhlgan into handing over the nuclear cores. The situation remains tense, with both sides reinforcing their military presence in the Gulf of Good Omen and along land borders.
According to a statement released by the Krauanagazan Defense Department, as of 11 AM today, 50 Federal Air Force and Navy personnel have been killed in combat, while 86 have been injured, and 15 have been listed as missing. The Defense Department said that Zuhlgani airstrikes have killed 12 civilians and wounded 36.
World Forum representatives have continued to call for restraint and have urged all parties to engage in diplomatic dialogue to work toward a peaceful resolution. However, diplomatic sources suggest that progress will be difficult, with both sides deeply entrenched in their positions.
