Draconic Media (Vrignyan State TV):
BREAKING: The Vrignyan Government has sent an ultimatum to Maxim Vireat and the Firestian leadership, demanding the cessation of hostilities with the State of Aldestukk, the return of Vrignyan ground strike jets, and the resignation of Maxim Vireat and all leaders of the Republic complicit in the war effort.
Due to the magnitude of the demands, which will clearly not be accepted in any possible universe, Vrignyan forces are already organized in the Vrignyan-Firest border, and the Vrignyan Air Force is on stand by for any mission. Since the start of the latest conflict between Aldestukk and Firest, the Fourth Republic has increased funding to the Armed Forces and started an intense training program for new volunteers, as well as a reintroduction program for Vrignyans which would be fit for the Vrignyan army’s reserves.
Vrignyan citizens were already suspicious about some sort of Vrignyan intervention in the conflict since the start of intense military training and reorganization in the northern provinces, as well as the recent law changes, allowing the Fourth Republic to strengthen its army back into a functional state since its collapse in 2014 with the fall of the Second Stratocracy.
Minister of Defence Joseph Balein has stated that, if Vrigny were to intervene in the conflict, the Fourth Republic’s intentions would only be to bring the conflict to a stop as soon as possible, as well as to establish a liberal democratic regime in Firest, and very unlikely, Aldestukk as well. The Minister of Defence reiterates that much more harm will be done if Vrigny delays any possible operation, and that the country has the right to save its “sister country” from the century old dictatorship which has been oppressing Firestian Vrignyans and Stukk people since the very beginning.
The Republic of Firest has not yet replied in any way to the Vrignyan ultimatum. Currently, there are very little Firestian forces which are able to be redirected into a possible Vrignyan front due to the Firestian military supply crisis. Most Firestian forces are tied down in combat or defense against both Stukk Legitimist and Militarist forces.
Coalitanian National News
After the situation directly to the south of Alcoalitania keeps escalating, the Coalitanian Armed Forces have been put on high alert to ensure national security and protect against any threats if possible. The Minister of Defense Gaius has commented on the ultimatum saying that “This is definitely an escalation to the conflict. Considering Firest’s history, there is no way they would accept these terms. We will try our hardest to aid Vrigny, as well as attempt to help with the stabilization of Aldestukk.” Gaius has assured Coalitanian citizens that “the Coalitanian Armed Forces will ensure that citizens of Alcoalitania will continue to live in peace.”
Coalitanian Minister of Foreign Affairs has stated that “Alcoalitania will seek to stabilize relations with Aldestukk.”

Fatherland Dragonpaper (Firestian State Newspaper):
-Markus Venin: "Welcome to the Fatherland Evening Radio Show. I am Markus Venin and I will be your host for tonight, as usual. Today is a very special day, and with my 32 years of being your radio host, I can easily say this is the case. First, I will start with the news:
Our military forces have continued their advance in in the illegitimate state of Aldestukk. Despite facing supply difficulties, our leadership has communicated to us and assured us that everything is fine. There is nothing else to comment, they say.
Well, they are wrong! 32 years of being controlled and making up reality here… I am done! You may all know that Firest only has one legal news source; the Fatherland’s Dragonpaper. The TV and Radio shows are also called Dragonpaper despite not being on paper. It’s easy to see the tremendous level of censorship we have as reporters and communicators, at least it is for us. This dictatorship is older than all of us, and it is only alive due to all the manipulation and lies on our mind.
The day has finally come. Despite me not being able to comment on this, the Fatherland, Vrigny, is finally going to save us from the wrath of our mad leaders. The dictatorship will finally fall! May Maxim Vireat and all leaders of the Republic-"
The sound of a door slamming open could be heard, and less than a second later, a shot would be heard. The radio show would remain silent for several minutes.
-Unknown: “Good evening. If you’re hearing this, seek shelter immediately if you are a woman or a man below the age of 16 years. If you are a man who is not yet serving in the Armed Forces, assist immediately to your closest recruitment office or police station. An indefinite curfew has been established for all except military and security forces. Do not go out of your homes. This message will now repeat. Fatherland’s Dragonpaper out.”

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.
Yayyára, Krauanagaz— The Holy Dominion of Zuhlgan has made serious allegations against Allied Coalition forces, accusing them of conducting an airstrike that targeted a medical vehicle near the contested city of Lumayyaratal in Western Zuhlgan. The Zuhlgani Ministry of Defense released a statement condemning the, “inhumane and reckless actions,” claiming that the incident resulted in casualties among medical personnel and patients being transported for emergency care.
Allied military officials have yet to respond to these allegations, but sources within the Krauanagazan Defense Command have suggested that an investigation is underway to determine the validity of the claims. If confirmed, the incident could further complicate efforts to stabilize the region.
The international community is now closely watching for further developments, with humanitarian organizations expressing concern about the potential impact on medical aid operations in conflict zones.
