Ikaranarean oil stocks have shown decline with the increasing tensions in the Transcrabian sea area. Many investors are worried that a war is brewing, and that such a war is likely to significantly decrease Ikaranarean trade volume. This has created a general panic within shareholders of companies related to international trade, but as is always the case in Ikaranara, this has shown itself first in oil stocks. Ikaranarean economists have used this to warn that Ikaranara needs to pursue economic diversification in order to limit the effects of things like this happening in one section of the industry, as well as to stave off international scruitiny for Ikaranara’s continued reliance on oil for both internal energy and for exports.

Earthquakes shook the arctic as the Huawanese arctic colony of Jäähua conducted its most recent underground thermonuclear test.
The Peonic Ministry of Defence also announced that for the first time ever, they will release the video of the test to the world.
Although the MoD stated that the video was purely for “scientific educational” purposes, analysts said that the release of the video had boasted its capabilities against its rivals.
Update
The video was released:
BREAKING— A large explosion has occurred at Mitallduk’s Embassy in Krauanagaz’s capital. Authorities in Yayyára said they are on the scene and working to extinguish a, “significant fire.”
The cause of the explosion remains unclear, as the Federal Police Agency opens an investigation.
The USI believed to be making private complaints to the Huawan government after nuclear testes were performed in Jäähua causing tremors in Izaakia. The government is set to perform an assessment on any risks to ground water from the test.
Jäähua Head Prefect, Her Oskari Maalarinen responded in an interview in regards to the Izaakian formal protest.
“We’ve received the protest, yes.” Said Head Prefer Maalarinen, “Jäähua closely sees the ecological impacts of radioactivity in the Jäähua test site and we are doing everything in our power to comply with nuclear testing standards and its subsequent ecological preservation protocols.”
It was noted that years ago, the Jäähua head prefect, an elected official from the Jäähua green party, was also in record criticizing lax Izaakian industrial standards that contributed to it being the most polluting nation of the arctic. Izaakian officials responded that the pollution was aiding global warming, which was to “warm up cold homes”
EXCLUSIVE: Videos Show Combat in Mitallduk; Krauanagazan Refugees Being Forcibly Expelled, Beaten, and Shot
Krautallaz Province, Krauanagaz— Following the restoration of Pasture’s services in Northern Krauanagaz today, hundreds of posts and videos from users who have fled into Krauanagaz were uploaded to the social media platform. There are dozens of photos and videos of Mitalldukish towns and cities engulfed in combat or being overrun by armed individuals.
Recent Events
On the night of May 20 an explosion occurred at the Mitallduk Confederacy Refugee Office in Ta’ana, with no reported injuries. This incident was the first in a series of violent events that have unfolded since the night of May 20.
The following morning, May 21, the Krauanagazan State Department announced that it had “lost contact” with its embassy and diplomatic staff in Mitallduk. This came after an emergency alert was triggered by the embassy’s security system. Secretary of State Darius Korin expressed deep concern and reported efforts to re-establish communication were unsuccessful. Meanwhile, reporters observed an influx of defense department and military personnel in Yayyára.
Later that day Krauanagaz moved to DEFCON 3, suspending military leave and recalling all servicemembers to their units, the Starhawk Pact also placed their regional forces on high alert. This heightened state of readiness signals the seriousness of the unfolding crisis. Additionally, reports of air raid sirens and a dogfight involving MDF aircraft over Mitallduk airspace further intensified concerns and likely precipitated the change in the defense condition. Around 11 PM on May 21, Zuhlgan confirmed that they had also lost contact with their embassy and staff in Mitallduk, deepening concerns inside Krauanagaz.
One video shows what is clearly marked as a Mitallduk Defense Force (MDF) fighter jet attacking an MDF installation outside of Ta’ana in Northern Mitallduk. In the video, the jet approaches and fires three missiles into the MDF base. The initial explosions caused by the missiles are followed by multiple significantly large explosions, suggesting that possibly an ammo or fuel storage depot was targeted.
