KFN UPDATE: Tatallap Protests Continue to Swell Despite Curfew; Tear Gas Deployed
Tensions continue to escalate as Tatallap and Yayyára become focal points of dissent. While demonstrations in Tadukgaz, Zhanagaz, and Krauayyagaz have reportedly concluded, Tatallap witnesses a growing gathering that persists despite attempts to disperse the crowd.
As night falls, Tatallap remains a hotbed of dissent, with protestors refusing to disperse. The Provincial Militia, under the orders of Governor Vintalla Solara, has declared a 10 pm curfew for Tatallap. Authorities are poised to declare the entire demonstration an unlawful assembly as the curfew approaches.
Earlier today Tatallap City Police deployed tear gas against demonstrators in downtown Tatallap and in front of Tatallap City Hall. Krauanaet Zharan condemned the use of tear gas, asserting that the protestors appeared peaceful. He stated, “I decry the use of any chemical agent on any person, for any reason.”
From Kraudukra Free News drones overhead, it is observed that the Provincial Militia is strategically maneuvering to channel protestors into the central plaza in front of the Zhzoatal Capitol Building. To achieve this, they have cut off access between the Southern and Northern parts of Tatallap, allowing passage only with proof of residency.
As of 8:57 pm, the Provincial Militia’s actions seem to be consolidating protestors around the Zhzoatal Capitol Building. The situation remains fluid, with continued monitoring of events as they unfold.

In a shocking and tragic turn of events, the Zhzoatal Provincial Militia reportedly opened fire on protestors in Tatallap’s central plaza last night, resulting in numerous casualties and injuries. The incident has ignited a political firestorm, with Governor Vintalla Solara facing criticism for her handling of the situation. Last night’s chaos, marked by gunfire and a surge of panic, left 31 dead, 302 injured, and 59 in critical condition. Preliminary findings suggest that the Zhzoatal Provincial Militia was possibly responsible for opening fire on protestors.
As the night wore on tensions escalated further as police fired tear gas canisters into the crowd. Witnesses claim that at least 12 canisters were deployed, some of which were thrown back toward the Militia positions. This may have played a role in provoking the subsequent gunfire, but that is yet unknown. It is crucial to note that the Militia was reportedly at least 50 meters away from the nearest protestor at this time.
The Federal Police Agency (FPA) swiftly moved to investigate the incident. However, Zhzoatal Governor Vintalla Solara’s office ordered the Zhzoatal Province Police to escort FPA agents out of the province. Governor Solara declared that any FPA agents attempting to investigate within Zhzoatal would be arrested and charged with obstruction of justice.

After months of preparation and campaigning, the first democratic elections in Valora shall take place a week from now. The newly-trained Valoran army and police forces have been instructed to provide security along with the Ryccian peacekeeping forces stationed in the country. Over the past year, Ryccia has gradually recalled its troops in Valora to slowly but surely transfer the responsibility of security to local Valoran forces, with only 5,800 Ryccian troops remaining in the country. Small rebel groups still persist in remote parts of the country, with the number of insurgents numbering around 350. The Ryccian Air Force is understood to be planning a retaliatory operation in conjunction with the new Valoran army in the case these militants come out of their hideouts to disrupt voting stations and the election in general.

BREAKING NEWS: Attempted Assassination on Krauanaet Zharan Shakes Yayyára
By: Marik Talos
YAYYÁRA, ZHZOATAL - In a shocking turn of events, an attempt on the life of Krauanaet Zharan unfolded tonight as he exited his vehicle to make his way to the Capitol Building in Yayyára. The incident occurred around 8:00 pm, just as the Krauanaet was set to deliver the annual National Review speech, a significant moment for setting agendas and reflecting on the past year.
As Krauanaet Zharan stepped out of his vehicle, a yet-unidentified assailant in the crowd opened fire on the Krauanaet. The shots prompted an immediate and coordinated response from the Krauanaet Protective Service (KPS). Zharan was swiftly rushed back into his vehicle and evacuated from the scene. The KPS, in collaboration with the Federal Police Agency and city law enforcement, has initiated a city-wide search to apprehend the would-be assassin. At this time, the KPS has not apprehended the shooter, and the investigation is ongoing.
In a brief statement (bleat) on Pasture™, the Krauanaet Protective Service assured the public that Krauanaet Zharan is unharmed. The statement urged Yayyára residents to remain in their homes until further notice as law enforcement conducts a thorough search for the assailant.
As a result of the incident, Yayyára is under complete lockdown. Security measures have been heightened across the city, with airports, ferry stops, bus and train stations suspending operations until further notice.

For the first time, free and borderless travel between Ryccia and Valora will be possible by February 1. Despite this new policy, the Ryccian government has ordered an increase in the number of border patrol units due to fears that ultranationalist Valorans could conduct various acts of disruption, from “provocative” protests to terrorist attacks, particularly around Ryccia’s special cities, coastal exclaves around the Valoran coast under Ryccian sovereignty. The Ryccian government has reiterated its stance that “the special cities of the Imperial State of Ryccia are recognized as sovereign Ryccian territory, and it has been this way for over two and a half centuries. More than 1.8 million of our citizens live in these territories, and we refuse to pay heed to childish provocations from a few radicals in Valoran society. We will work with our Valoran partners to ensure that the transition to an open borders policy is carried out peacefully and successfully, and we are open to work with any subsequent governments formed after the January 11 elections regardless of what the Valoran electorate choose”.
