The Met Office has put a Strong Wind Warning in place for the entire country.

Rumours are building that there is increasingly no confidence in the Prime Minister and the Government. Deputy Prime Minister Garcia has directly responsed to rumours. He said, ‘We are approaching the mid-way point of our term of Government and we have been dealing with relevant issues in our country, unlike the previous Government who spent their time making noise, legalising slavery and then quickly getting rid of it because they realised people had noticed it. The Prime Minister and the Government are doing very well and there is no cause for concern whatsoever.’

BREAKING— Today, about an hour after refusing Krauanagaz’s ceasefire attempt, Zuhlgan has launched a broad counteroffensive in Eastern Prira and Lumayyaratal. According to a senior defense department official, Krauanagazan forces are already stretched thin and are now facing a critical decision of whether to retreat or risk being encircled by Zuhlgani forces. The battle for Lumayyaratal has become a symbol of the war’s brutality, with both sides suffering heavy casualties in the months-long battle for the city.

Kingsland, Okhoa— Separatist protestors have overrun and set fire to a police station on Kingsland Island, according to Kingsland authorities. The incident is the culmination of a series of confrontations with the island’s authorities that left dozens injured and hundreds behind bars.

The Okhoa Regional Council has confirmed reports of, “unique civil unrest,” on the island since protests began across Okhoa following the decision to expel four Krauanagazan diplomats alleged to be engaging in intelligence operations against Okhoa. Protestors accuse the Regional Council of succumbing to Zuhlgani pressure. Pointing to the council’s unwillingness to share the evidence that led to the expulsion, protestors say that perhaps none exists.

Just Now— The Takaran People’s Army (TPA) and Purity Vanguard (PV), now in control of much of Mitallduk, have declared a unilateral ceasefire and offered to negotiate with the remnants of the Mitalldukish government. However, WF observers report the ceasefire is fragile, and skirmishes have continued in rural areas in the south.

The TPA/PV coalition also announced the formation of an executive council that will act as the governing body of the region. The council says that they intend to hold elections “when possible.” However, refugees who have recently fled Mitallduk have described the TPA/PV coalition imposing strict authoritarian rule in line with strict Mitalldukish cultural norms, and cracking down on dissent.

Several skirmishes have broken out between the Visrodin military and the Golden Riders, billionaire Nencho Vanko’s PMO which has the job to protect Vanko’s control over his gold mines, due to his 16.5% share on the Visrodin Royal Gold company.

The military has suddenly attacked the gold mines in order to appropriate the remaining privately-owned gold mines in the country, and establish a full royal monopoly on the extraction of such resource.

BREAKING— The Zuhlgani Foreign Ministry has confirmed that both the TPA/PV coalition and the remaining members of the Mitalldukish government have agreed to mediation talks facilitated by Zuhlgan. In an official statement, the ministry described the development as a, “constructive step toward restoring stability and peace in Mitallduk.” Details regarding the timing and location of the negotiations remain undisclosed. Observers view this as a significant move amidst ongoing regional tensions and escalating humanitarian crises.

The Krauanagazan State Department has issued a cautious response to Zuhlgan’s confirmation of mediation talks between the TPA/PV coalition and the remnants of the Mitalldukish government. In a statement, a spokesperson for Krauanaet Thalira Renkara emphasized that Krauanagaz, “welcomes any diplomatic efforts aimed at restoring peace and stability in Mitallduk,” but warned against, “any mediation process that undermines Mitalldukish sovereignty or legitimizes the violent actions of militant groups.” The statement reiterated Krauanagaz’s ongoing commitment to supporting humanitarian relief efforts in the conflict-torn nation.

Political analysts suggest that Krauanagaz’s tempered stance reflects concerns over Zuhlgan’s expanding influence in Southern Cordilia. The development comes amid rising tensions in the Gulf of Good Omen and escalating cases of a mysterious illness affecting refugee populations across the region.

Prira, Zuhlgan— Heavy clashes in Lumayyaratal continue as Krauanagazan forces push toward key defensive positions held by Zuhlgani troops. Military sources confirm the destruction of a major supply depot on the city’s western edge, marking a significant blow to Zuhlgani logistics.

Despite the advance, significant Zuhlgani reinforcements have reportedly arrived, fortifying key districts and slowing Krauanagazan gains. Civilians attempting to flee through designated corridors face mounting dangers, with humanitarian organizations warning of rapidly deteriorating conditions.

The Krauanagazan Defense Department stated that, “victory is within reach,” while Zuhlgani commanders vowed, “absolute resistance.” Observers predict the battle could offer a view into the future of the Gulf War.

The Antarchan Secret Service announced publically that the FiHami Coron’shi has been rescued from an “abhorrent situation” and are currently working with Antarchan Children and Family Services to ensure the child is placed in an appropriate home in Antarcha. She will be under the vigilance of Dr. Gnyla Karte, one of Antarcha’s most accomplished psychologists with a background in cult deprogramming and religious trauma, as well as Dr. Lynn Schaffir, an expert in early childhood psychology and an extensive background with social work.

Prime Minister Texeteti’ has demanded that the Coron’shi be returned to FiHami or “Antarcha will be nuked with all the super cool nukes we have!” The Antarchan government has officially stated that “No FiHami ex-patriot will be returned against their will until the current administration is abolished and tried for their crimes against humanity.”

In retaliation, the Prime Minister declared that anyone convicted of violent crime in FiHami will be sent to Antarcha to “serve their life purpose as dictated by Ha’Fi-Nix”, who they also claim is the FiHami Coron’shi currently in Antarcha. Texeteti’ has also declared himself “god-empress of Pacifica”.

“This is a dangerous game Mr. Texeteti’ is playing. We cannot allow this to somehow spill out of FiHami and affect current global crises already ongoing. The Antarchan Military will put a swift stop to the current FiHami administration so we can focus on more important things, like Hoss’ theory of Existence and the implications on the education system.” Queen Wynterre posted on social media platforms.

The Duma has voted unanimously to repeal the so-called “Double Indemnity Law”.

In case a person on active military service or an employee of the military forces, a police official or others as prescribed by Law sustains damages in connection with the performance of official duties such as combat action, drill and so forth, he/she shall not be entitled to a claim against the State or public organization on the grounds of unlawful acts committed by public officials in the course of official duties, but shall be entitled only to compensations as prescribed by Law.

This law has been criticised by many for preventing Servicemen and their families from receiving just compensation during service. With the recent intervention in Termina raising awareness of such injustices, a civil movement has risen that advocated for expanded rights for servicemen, which culminated in the repeal of the law.

A series of disagreements between the ruling military leaders and the Knyaz has resulted in the storming of the Sarnitsa Royal Palace by a large regiment of troops. The military reportedly opened fire against resisting members of the Royal Guard, and then made its way to the Knyaz.

The most powerful and influential leader of the military, Anton Todorov, then met with Knyaz Viktor III Rucheyski, restrained by several of Todorov’s soldiers, and reportedly made the Knyaz sign an off an agreement which gives all political powers to Anton Todorov. Under the agreement, the Knyaz would still be a figurehead Head of State, however.

It is theorized that the main reason for this further military takeover of power is the Knyaz’s intention to restore the House of Barons’ function as an advisory body, and the influential military leaders were against this idea. Another reason is the Knyaz’s intention to form a governing court mostly comprised by nobles, with not enough military officer representation that would please the military.

Anton Todorov now holds complete absolute power in Visrodin. He now proclaims himself as chairman, and has started to form a military cabinet to rule Visrodin according to his ideology and plans for the future. There are already hundreds of imprisonments as the military has now expanded the scope of its purges to include ultra-royalists.

Okhoa— The situation in Okhoa has escalated dramatically in the past 24 hours, as separatist protestors clashed with heavily armed security forces in Kingsland and in other major cities on the mainland. The violence comes amid growing calls for independence and transparency from the Okhoa Regional Council, which has been accused of suppressing dissent to appease Zuhlgan, Okhoa’s administering power.

Following the burning of a police station earlier this week, Kingsland authorities have imposed a strict curfew across the island. Security forces have been deployed in large numbers, with reports of armored vehicles patrolling the streets. Despite the curfew, protestors continue to defy orders, setting up barricades and engaging in sporadic skirmishes with police. The death toll from the unrest has risen to at least 27, with hundreds more injured, according to local hospitals.

The Okhoa Independence Party (OIP) has called for a general strike across the territory, urging citizens to shut down businesses and halt all non-essential activities. The strike has brought much of Okhoa’s economy to a standstill, with reports of food and fuel shortages in several regions.

In a controversial move, Zuhlgan is considering deploying additional troops to Okhoa, citing the need to, “restore order and protect the Okhoa civilians.” The proposed deployment has sparked outrage among protestors, who denounced it as an occupation force. Krauanagaz has also condemned the proposal, saying it is a, “blatant violation of Okhoan sovereignty.”

The situation in Okhoa remains fluid, with no clear resolution in sight. The Okhoa Regional Council has announced plans to hold an emergency meeting to address the crisis, but many doubt its ability to act independently of Zuhlgan. Meanwhile, protestors have vowed to continue their fight for independence, raising fears of a prolonged and bloody conflict.

As the Gulf War between Krauanagaz and Zuhlgan continues to destabilize the region, the unrest in Okhoa threatens to become another flashpoint in the broader struggle for control of Southern Cordilia.

BREAKING— Several Krauanagazan provinces, including Kevpríg, Zhzoatal, and Krautallaz, have announced the immediate implementation of rationing protocols amid severe shortages of vital goods. Authorities cite disrupted supply chains, ongoing conflict, and the escalating health crisis as key factors.

This comes amid a Zuhlgani naval blockade on Krauanagaz’s southern coast, cutting off vital supply lines aiming to slow or halt the Krauanagazan army in Zuhlgan. Krauanagazan attempts to break the blockade have so far been unsuccessful, with several ships reportedly sunk or damaged in skirmishes. The blockade has also disrupted humanitarian aid shipments, worsening the already dire situation in refugee camps.

Essential items, including food staples, medical supplies, and fuel, will be subject to strict distribution limits. Provincial officials are urging residents to remain calm and cooperate with emergency measures as they attempt to stabilize supply networks.

The Krauanagazan federal government is expected to release an official statement tomorrow.
