In a press conference held at 8:30 am today, the Federal Police Agency (FPA) provided a sobering update on the deteriorating situation on Pohnarras Island, where law enforcement has reportedly lost control of Northern Pohnarras Island and parts of the city of Parnasos. The briefing shed light on the evolving crisis, with staggering casualty figures and challenges impeding the evacuation efforts. Kevpríg Governor, Mitka Luavi bleated this morning,

The FPA confirmed that law enforcement have “lost control” of significant territories in Northern Pohnarras Island and sections of Parnasos city to armed militants, predominantly identified as Red K militias. This loss of control has severely hampered evacuation efforts, with hostile forces impeding the movement of both civilians and emergency responders.
While the Provincial Guard has made strides in evacuating affected areas, nearly 68% of the population in North Pohnarras remains unreachable due to hostile forces. Unexpected anti-aircraft fire from Red K militants has further complicated evacuation operations, underscoring the volatile and precarious nature of the crisis.
At least eight Navy helicopter crew members tragically lost their lives during surveillance operations early this morning when two Navy helicopters were shot down by missile fire. The Chief of Naval Operations said is a statement early today, “We mourn the loss of our Navy comrades who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. The Federal Navy will continue to provide support in restoring security to Pohnarras Island.” Additionally, the FPA reported the deaths of at least four of its agents, 23 Parnasos city police officers, and more than a dozen officers from various localities in North Pohnarras. The Kevpríg Provincial Guard has also suffered significant losses, with at least 38 members confirmed deceased.
Medical facilities on Pohnarras Island and Alkantara on the mainland are overwhelmed by the influx of casualties, with hundreds reported injured in the ongoing clashes. The scale of injuries poses unprecedented challenges to emergency response teams and underscores the urgent need for immediate and coordinated intervention.
Despite the grim realities on the ground, federal authorities expressed unwavering determination to restore order and safeguard the lives of citizens. The FPA reiterated its commitment to deploying all available resources to address the crisis effectively, emphasizing the imperative of collective action and solidarity in confronting the challenges ahead. Special Agent Karina Jorza said, “The situation on Pohnarras Island is deeply concerning. Hostile forces have gained control of key areas, complicating our response efforts. We are committed to restoring order and ensuring the safety of our citizens.”
As Pohnarras Island grapples with escalating violence and loss, the unfolding crisis underscores the profound challenges facing the Kevpríg Province. The Federal Police Agency’s commitment to restoring order clashes with the grim reality of a region increasingly under the sway of armed militias. With casualties mounting and evacuation efforts impeded, the nation awaits with bated breath for the resolution of a crisis that has thrust the normally peaceful Krauanagaz Federation into unprecedented chaos.
