Concerning reports are coming out of the city of Krum, about the indiscriminate release of diethyl parathion by the Visrodin Army in the outskirts of the city. The substance, still used by many Visrodin farmers as an insecticide, was most likely seized by the military several days ago, and it is being used to delay and stop the SRA advance towards, and into the largest city of the country.
The pesticide was released in an aerosolized form in the outer areas of southeastern Krum, putting many citizens of the city and surrounding towns and areas in danger. The chemical substance is still in use by Visrodin farmers and agricultural corporations due to the lack of safety regulations, and is a member of the organophosphate family, characterized by its high neurotoxicity, even in humans.
The extension of the damage is unknown, but what is known is that it will most likely continue to have effects on the health of affected citizens and soldiers for many months in the future. The SRA has publicly condemned the Visrodin Army as war criminals and has stated that: “Anton Todorov only wished it was something like sarin instead”.
