Several Explosions reported all around Nationalist-occupied Termina as Kliegme utilised a vast majority of its air force to conduct precision airstrikes and bombings of supply hubs and key infrastructure connected to Nationalist aligned cities. In Vermillion, following a rejected ultimatum for surrender, a Bunker-Buster Bomb was deployed to cut off the tunnel infrastructure. The Kliegmean Air Force also striked the Anti-Air Network in the Northern Nationalist Area.
Kliegmean MFA and MoD stated in a joint statement that Operation 220731 was conducted as an appropriate response to the Nationalist Terrorist attack on Yatagaras which took the lives of 48 people and 21 terrorists.
While confirmed damage alone would be devastating for the nationalists’ ability to continue fighting, it is not confirmed if all targets of Operation 220731 were decimated.
Analysts believe that while it is true that this attack was carried out as a punitive measure towards Nationalist attacks against Kliegmean Children, it also doubles to intimidate against any further attempts to cause such attacks.
The USI makes a point of saying that the Izaakia backed Southern Terminan Provisional Government seems to be accepting defections from city states from all sides, and that I might be advisable to defect to a strong and stable side rather than be on the receiving end of CE airstrikes or Nationalist military strikes.
A fire falcon attack in Kalai’ National Park left 4 people dead and one person in critical condition early this morning.
The person in critical condition will take over as Ha’Coron’ if they recover from their critical burns.
The person in question, Toraki Hastofi, is a well-known matriarchy fundamentalist and a major player in drafting Texeteti’s agenda for the term. The four deceased persons alongside Hastofi were Benjamin Harris’ advisors, major players in FiHami’s green party and FiHami unity party Alonso Nicks, Lora Heit, Kalani Kia-Kilaweioni, and Lamai’ Hastofi.
High Priestess Huahasi and Coron’shi Finix Fi’Shi will visit the potential new Ha’Coron’ this evening.
One of the Delegates of the National Agrarian League, Matey Rusev, has been arrested on suspicion of being a member of the National Republican Front. Rusev has subsequently been stripped of his Delegate role and his position has been covered by one of the NAL’s backup Delegates, Radoslav Rysinov.
The National Republican Front is considered a terrorist organization in Visrodin, due to its goal of overthrowing the monarchy in the country. Despite not being at war officially with the Kingdom, it has pursued several guerrilla tactics in the past, and has also staged several terorrist attacks in some of the largest Visrodin cities. Lately, however, NRF activity has been dwindling, but the Kingdom’s security forces can never really be completely sure of the Front’s intentions and actions.
Qaweritoyu
Prime Minister Walton has been involved in a docudrama on the importance of expressing yourself and being honest. Speaking at the premiere, he said, ‘It’s very important that you remember to be who you are and express yourself and look after yourself, especially if you are in the public eye. Maintaining physical and mental health is an important balance which cannot be overlooked.’
Deputy Prime Minister Pearson has sparked concerns that she might be leaving after being spotted hanging out with former colleagues. Reacting to the speculation, the Deputy Prime Minister said, ‘Really! Really? They’re concerned I’m leaving? They weren’t too concerned the other two times I left, I came back. A departure is on the cards again and a return is also on the cards but, ah, sure, I think they’ll survive.’
Deputy Prime Minister Pearson has spoken of comedians who inspired her in her Video of the Day.
Disgraced former Prime Minister Joanna Barrett has said that it’s theoretically possible she could re-join the Modern Marxist Party and she is considering turning her plan to step down on its head and running in the next General Election. The Prime Minister, who is the Leader of the Modern Marxist Party, stated that Barrett’s reentry to the Party is NOT theoretically possible, it is impossible. He advised the former Prime Minister to ‘dream on’.
Jakub reaches Election Day
Jakub reaches Election Day as voters swarm in to vote for their preferred candidate, the Jakubian National Police are on high alert in case of any incidents that may arise from the election.
The Ministry of Defence claims Vermillion City is secured by Kliegmean forces as the Kliegmean banner waves over the city centre. Following the attacks that destroyed Vermillion capabilities to continue fighting, a thorough assault, complemented by heavy firepower, broke through the city’s defences.
While some of the city’s senior leadership has been arrested by Kliegme, whose forces are currently holding them custody in relations to the terrorist attacks, the MoD claims that Key Officials have already fled the city on the day the Kliegmean incursion began.
While a significant portion of the northern resistance are claimed to have been neutralised, Kliegme has temporarily halted its advance while maintaining strikes to secure the rear and reestablish order in its occupation areas. In this regard, Kliegme has requested the CE to aid humanitarian efforts in the region.
Vermilion city leaders and fighters have refuted claims of Kliegmean forces breaching the city-state fortifications with fighters claiming, “the stalemated Kliegmeans have prematurely declared victory over the defenses.” The governor general of Vermilion city, Sir Ganovine Ranbaran stated, “I will not flee and call upon all Vermilions to fight to the last man! Vermilion will remain free so long as I draw breath.”
Talks between the STPG and Xion town have broken down due to Xion towns insistence that the Clocktown based TCG is still the legitimate government of the confederacy.
Meanwhile intense talks continue between Kaiji Valley, the STPG and Higurashi as the city state controls a major highway controlling access to key city states belonging to pro-TCC and pro STPG forces.
Faunberg City has been chosen to host Kliegme’s Federal Conference on Natural Science and Environment on January 3rd.
Faunberg, its former name being 청주(Cheongju), is a historical city that hosted the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Yeoseon, which ruled about two-thirds of modern day Kliegme at its height between the 7th and 9th centuries, and existed for approximately one thousand years. A vast number of archaeological sites and cultural properties from this period remain in the city, earning it the nickname “Museum without Walls”, and the immense tourism revenue generated from them.
Faunberg Mayor Limon Listova expressed her gratitude and honour for the city being the host to a prestigious event, and that she will work with Security Officials to ensure the safety of Kliegmean citizens.
An Order from the Prime Minister leaves the University of Ha’Hani in danger of closing for the first time since it’s grand opening as a library and educational hub in 1374.
The university announced that tuition and fees will begin to be implemented for all students, not just international students, starting the Spring 2025 semester. FiHami students would be expected to provide 15,730 Fihuahe for education, and international students would be expected to pay 35,783 Fihuahe. As of the Fall 2024 semester, FiHami students would not pay a dime, and international students would just pay 760 Fihuahe.
“If funding for the university is fully cut, we may end up having to close our doors to higher education. If charging tuition isn’t enough, that is.” The President of the University, Arali Kilaweioni stated in a press conference surrounding the future of the university. “Contrary to popular belief, I am not the highest-paid position in the university. The highest salary paid is to the educators themselves, who only make at most 30,000 Fihuahe in a year. We are entirely reliant on government funding and passionate educators to make the university work as well as it does.”
“The University of Ha’Hani is an iconic building, one of the few Finixi buildings that has stood since its original founding in the late 1300s. Losing the university and the library would be an unparalleled tragedy.” The Head Professor of Pacifica History Melaga Atusi was quoted saying. “We need every effort at this time to resist this anti-common sense administration until the next election.”
A group of four “enthusiasts” have today (04th Dec) been detained by the local law enforcement department of Clayinn, under reasonable suspicion of: “Willingly gaining unauthorised access and retieval of security camera footage in: Starfall (~132km away from Clayinn), Highville (~74km from Clayinn, ~157km from Starfall), and the Old Danbrew Canal (~120km away from Clayinn, ~83km from Starfall, and half the country away from Highville).” However, as alibis of the four suspects have no relation to any of the four locations, they have been placed under custody. This passes the issue to the General Prosecutor.
There are no records showing that they’ve had contact with one another prior to the incidents. Furthermore, they all come from different localities, though currently reside in Clayinn.
Infrastructure & Telecommunications Report:
This had given them access to screen terminals of the railway stations in aforementioned locations, which has since been out of order. Critical Infrastructure stations use a Control Access Protocol, cameras use specifically Token passing.
Subsequently, the Central Railway Terminal Stations of near Starfall (New Sorthane), Highville (Agorport), and the Old Danbrew Canal (Suhavenster) have reported that a total of 28 railway lines across the country are, “somehow” [sic], non-operational.
Operators on these terminals report that they “speculate of either one of the cameras or terminal screens at the time of their blackout, have had within them the special Frame or Token, which was omitted in passing to the next one. However, what remains unclear is how a security camera special Frame compromisation led to compromisation of the entire chain.”
Prosecutor and possible Task Force
General Prosecutor has subsequently passed the case to the Prosecutor for Critical Infrastructure & Telecommunications.
They have reported that a total of seven security cameras in four locations explain the resulting number of lines. Statement is that, due to caching of IoT(cameras and screens) and CI(railways), it will take 2 days(6th Dec) and 3-3.5 days(7/8th Dec) for them to power on again safely. The Prosecutor for CI & Telecomm has requested from the High Chancellory and of The National Parliament, to suggest to the HM Government that a Task Force be formed, as to determine both the point of failure and re-assess used protocols.
The Daily Penguin - Kalaki
Kalaki has sanctioned Kliegmean assets, along with STPG, and TCG assets. As a member of the Kalakian Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the Daily Penguin “We want peace, and we want it now.” Based on given information, the Kingdom of Kalaki has decided to sanction assets of groups involved in the war in Termina, with some nations being added to the list as well. The MoFA has yet to discuss sanctions about close allies, such as, but not limited to, Izaakia, Marica, and other nations.
Kliegme, a exporter of Natural Resources and Electronics, has reciprocated in the sanctions
The MFA states that Kliegme has not caused damage to Kalakian property during the Joint Peacekeeping Operation, and that the sanctions on Kliegme is only an aggravating measure that will cause more chaos in the Terminan crisis. Additionally, it has demanded Kalakian MFA to explain why the Nationalists were not sanctioned, considering that it was their use of violence that caused the situation in the first place, and their various crimes including the terrorist attack on a Kliegmean school, killing several children.
