Last Bastions Under Siege: Coalition Forces Struggle as Militants Consolidate Power in Mitallduk
Yayyára, Krauanagaz— In a press conference today Defense Secretary Haratal N’gevayya told reporters that the coalition of militant groups led by the Purity Vanguard and the Takaran People’s Army (TPA) has consolidated control over most of the former Mitallduk Confederacy. Coalition forces, including units from Krauanagaz, Emerald, and the remnants of the Mitallduk Provisional Government (MPG), now face a dire situation as only small, fragmented strongholds remain along the coast.
In recent weeks, the militants have fortified their positions in key regions, establishing de facto governance structures and entrenching their hold on the territory. The rapid advances outpaced Coalition supply lines and resulted in the seizure of additional coastal cities and strategic corridors. N’gevayya says Coalition forces are being forced into, “increasingly vulnerable positions.” These developments come despite emergency reinforcements and intensified counteroffensives that began in late September.
