Explosion Rocks Zuhlgani Arms Factory Amid Rising Tensions; Details Scarce


BREAKING— According to Zuhlgani state media, an explosion has occurred at an arms factory owned by Zhukva’s Will Armworks, a state-owned corporation. The explosion reportedly took place earlier this evening, causing “significant damage,” to the facility and leading to a large fire that emergency crews are currently battling to contain.

Details about the cause of the explosion remain unclear, and Zuhlgani authorities have yet to release an official statement. State media reports suggest that the factory, which is known for producing a variety of military hardware, including munitions and small arms, was operating at full capacity at the time of the incident.

There are unconfirmed reports of casualties, though the extent of injuries or fatalities has not been officially disclosed. Footage aired by Zuhlgani state television shows thick plumes of smoke rising from the factory, with emergency responders on the scene.

As of now, there has been no indication of foul play, though speculation is already circulating on social media platforms. Zuhlgani state media has urged the public to remain calm and await further information from official sources.

The explosion comes at a time of heightened tension in the region, though it is too early to determine if the incident is related to any ongoing conflicts or internal security issues. Updates are expected as more information becomes available from Zuhlgani authorities.

A member of the Association of Frastinian Federalists has proposed, in a pre-election televised constructive open-forum in Treisag today, for the unification of all Frastinian armed forces into one regional defence agency and policy, stating it could “shorten the region’s defence fronts, greater project regional power and effectively help turn the region into a superpower.”

A member of the Besernian Liberal Democrats has warned him that “efficiency is not (immediately) quality”, and has proposed further on that a federation of Frastinian armed forces instead of a unitary agency.

A member of the Party for Freedom and Democracy has also warned against the domination of any Frastinian state that would come as a result, including of Besern. She has also inquired on safe-guards against the “crabs-in-a-bucket” mentality.

A member of the Amalgamated Left has expressed initial disapproval, questioning whether if Besern has the power, or even right to do it at all.

A right-wing independent called the proposal “impractical”, stating that “it would be a scam”.

The Besernian Conservatives, the Besernian Socialists and the Berenican Interests party have declined to participate.

Vrignyan State Newspaper:

The construction of the first dedicated Zarkanxiz Temple since the 1800s has finally finished. With it having a central position in the Zarkanxiz holy city of Vraks, it stands out due to its differentiated dark aesthetic, built with stone, and with many dark red windows. An inauguration speech of some sorts will be held tomorrow by Elias Hericen, the leader of the liberal wing of the GPV who started the freedom of religion movement in Vrigny; and Alexandra Viren, the Allxervar.

Zarkanxiz faithful will be allowed inside the temple even before the end of the speech, so that they are finally able to enjoy their right of practicing their own religion in an appropiate place for the first time. The temple has a capacity of around 80 people, which may not seem like much, but it is the largest temple in Vrigny; technically also the only actual temple in the country without counting private spaces.

Sporadic clashes in Western Mitallduk between Krauanagazan, Emeraldian, and Zuhlgani forces raise fears of a broader regional war in Southern Cordilia; Tensions escalate as international concerns mount


BREAKING— Recent skirmishes in Western Mitallduk involving Krauanagazan, Emeraldian, and Zuhlgani forces have heightened fears of a broader regional conflict in Southern Cordilia. The region’s history of ethnic, political, and territorial disputes has created a volatile environment, with the fragile ceasefire in Mitallduk on the brink of collapse. The involvement of major powers like Krauanagaz, Zuhlgan, and Emerald has drawn international concern, as the potential for a full-scale war grows. Diplomatic efforts are urgently needed to prevent the conflict from escalating further and destabilizing the entire region.

BREAKING: Several hidden explosives have been discovered in the Zarkanxiz temple in Vraks, which has yet to open to the Zarkanxiz faithful.

The inauguration speech of the first Zarkanxiz temple in Vrigny since the 1800s had been postponed at the last second due to an unexpected circumstance that meant that Elias Hericen could not take part of the speech. Due to him being an integral part of the opening ceremony, it had been postponed for this Sunday. However, with the discovery of the bomb, it has been indefinitely postponed until the situation is deemed completely safe.

The explosives, which were already defused by the VISD, were most likely planted since the spread of news about the inauguration speech; or maybe since the end of the construction. What is completely obvious about this action is that, whoever planted the explosives, wanted the destruction of the temple, and most likely the death of those Zarkanxiz faithful which would have been inside of the temple during part of the speech.

An investigation has been launched to find possible perpetrators of this attempted terrorist attack on the new temple. It has already been confirmed that the explosives are not home-made, but that they indeed come from the Vrignyan military arsenals.
