Emerald and Krauanagaz Under Fire for Silence on Casualties
Yayyára, Krauanagaz— Both the Krauanagazan and Emeraldian governments are facing mounting criticism for their refusal to disclose casualty figures from the ongoing offensive. Military analysts, journalists, and advocacy groups have accused the coalition of withholding vital information that could shed light on the human cost of the conflict. The decision to keep casualty numbers under wraps has fueled public frustration, with opposition leaders and activists demanding greater transparency.
In a statement released last week, the Krauanagazan Defense Department cited “operational security concerns” as the reason for the information blackout, arguing that releasing figures prematurely could embolden Zuhlgani forces and harm troop morale. Similarly, Emerald’s Defense Minister dismissed calls for disclosure as, “politically motivated distractions,” insisting that operational updates will be made “when appropriate.”
