Kliegme has agreed to conduct the exercise, dedicating elements from its elite 7th Maneuvere Corps; the 1st Guards Maneuvere Division “Gawrnov”, and the 2nd Quick Response Division (Air Assault Units.) Units from The 35th Mountain Division, having participated in the Joint Peacekeeping Operation in Termina, will also be participating in order to share its experiences.
The 4th Flotilla, the only one not involved in “peacekeeping” in Termina, will be utilised to exercise with the E. Royal Navy. The Kliegmean Navy, a fundamentally Green Water Navy, seems to desire to further its Area Denial Capabilities.
While the Kliegmean Armed Forces, save for the Sallodesians, have not made as grandiose of joint exercises throughout its history, analysts believe that this change is a significant step towards improving relations between the Federal Republic and the Starhawk Pact, whose relations, while not strained, saw difficulties over Kliegme’s previous support towards Folster. However, with Folster normalising relations with Starhawk and the Kliegmean need for diplomatic support, especially regarding its Joint Peacekeeping Organisation in Termina, this move was made possible.

The Second Son of King Joshua VII, Prince Dominic of Colradia, has made two public announcements earlier today. The First of these is his engagement to 2nd Generation Weissersteiner Emigre, Erika Neumann, who has been the Prince’s Long Term Girlfriend since his High School days. The Second Announcement is to many, at least partially responsible for the First Announcement, as Prince Dominic announced the birth of his First Child, Princess Viktoria Nelson. While having a child outside of marriage is generally discouraged in the Royal Family, it is not outright illegal. Prince Dominic even stated afterwards that he and Erika were going to get engaged eventually, it just became a case of neither could get the chance to ask the question, what with Prince Dominic, A Lieutenant in the Emeraldian Royal Air Force and CO of an Air Defence Vehicle in the 74th Air Defence Squadron, was either stuck in readiness exercises or assigned to the Denver Air Defence District.

Prince Edward and his Wife, Princess Grace, has announced their second pregnancy, even if said announcement is only a few days before Grace’s due date according the Royal Family’s personal doctor. When asked the gender of their next child, Prince Edward then clarified that once again he wasn’t having just one child, but rather Eight. As his younger brother, Prince Lucas, put it. “Eddie never had the greatest timing when announcing important things.” When asked, the King merely gave a small smile, even if his eyes clearly held a man who was contemplating reality.
It is to be noted that around the time the next Royal Couple would’ve found out how many children they had was around the same time that multiple shouts of disbelief could be heard near the Royal Palace.

The Victory in Vermillion allows the CE to march south to Oceanus, another stronghold of the Nationalist Coalition. However, its spear is blunted as a number of forces are tied down in the area to neutralise insurgencies.
A year into the Joint Peacekeeping Operation, Kliegme’s attitude towards it has changed somewhat. Kliegmean Media now call the JPO as the Terminan War, and at the time of writing the Government-funded ITAK is the few media left that calls the JPO as its official name.
While the anti-war sentiment is negligible with no major protests, due to the fact that the 9th Corps operating in Termina are made solely of Kontraktnikis and are rewarded accordingly and the fact that many Kliegmeans have come to terms with this being a long-term operation, it is still undeniable that the initial fervour has simmered down.
The war has however, gave a boon to Kliegmean Manufacturing as Steel and Gunpowder production skyrocketed. However, its other sectors, such as finance and tourism has seen a decline.
Krautallaz Provincial Assembly Pushes Symbolic Resolution for Integration
Mitayyal, Krautallaz— The Krautallaz Provincial Assembly has added new momentum to an already sensitive national debate after narrowly passing a resolution calling for “steps toward eventual integration” between the Krauanagaz Federation and the Mitallduk Confederacy. The measure, approved late Tuesday by a 42–37 margin after hours of tense debate, is non-binding but carries powerful symbolic weight in a country still reckoning with the bitter legacy of its civil war.
The resolution urges federal authorities in Yayyára to open “dialogues of mutual recognition and cultural reconciliation” with Mitallduk counterparts, framing integration as a “long-term aspiration for Cordilian unity.” While the text avoids specifics, supporters see it as a signal that Krautallaz, long regarded as a flashpoint of division, could instead become a laboratory for reconciliation.
“Our province was at the heart of the war, and it still bears the wounds,” said Assembly Speaker Enzat Lurvai (ML), who introduced the resolution. “This vote is not about surrendering sovereignty, but about envisioning a future beyond partition. Krautallaz has suffered enough being a borderland of memory and grievance— we must imagine something better.”

Speculation is mounting that Cynthia Erickson is merely holding the office of Prime Minister and keeping things running until 2027 and that she had never planned to be Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Erickson has responded to rumours she never planned to be Prime Minister. ‘Let me be absolutely clear: I am not here to keep the seat warm for someone else. I was elected Leader of my Party on a permanent basis and entrusted with the office of Prime Minister to lead — not to loiter. Since taking office, my focus has been on delivering our mandate and governing in the national interest. Speculation about my departure is just that — speculation. My commitment is to lead this government through the next election and beyond, with the full backing of my Party and our Coalition partners.’
Deputy Prime Minister Garcia has responded to the rumours. ‘Cynthia Erickson is Prime Minister. End of.’
BREAKING— Authorities are responding to a massive explosion that rocked the downtown district of Med Karazh this morning, reportedly centered near the Mitalldukish Provisional Government Offices. Eyewitnesses described a deafening blast that shattered windows several blocks away and sent thick plumes of black smoke rising over the city’s skyline.
Med Karazh Fire Chief Karlo Ha confirmed that emergency crews are conducting active search-and-rescue operations. “There is extensive structural damage across a wide radius,” Ha said during a brief press statement. “We are prioritizing the evacuation of survivors and containment of secondary fires.”
The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined, though early reports suggest it may have been a deliberate attack. Security forces have cordoned off a large portion of the downtown area, urging residents to stay indoors and avoid the affected districts. Hospitals across the city have been placed on high alert as casualties are being transported from the scene.
At the time of the explosion, the Mitalldukish Provisional Government was reportedly holding its weekly meeting on resource management and post-crisis reconstruction efforts. Officials have yet to confirm the status of the provisional leadership, none of whom have been accounted for as of this hour.
Local communication networks briefly went offline following the blast, and power outages have been reported across central Med Karazh. Law enforcement has not released an official statement on potential suspects or motives.
International observers have condemned the apparent attack, with Krauanagazan federal authorities and several regional NGO partners pledging assistance in rescue and investigative efforts.
UPDATE: Investigators Confirm Explosion in Med Karazh Caused by Deliberate Device
Med Karazh— Authorities have confirmed that yesterday’s devastating explosion in downtown Med Karazh, which killed and injured an as-yet-unknown number of people, was caused by a “deliberately deployed explosive device,” according to sources close to the ongoing investigation.
A confidential leak from within the Mitalldukish Provisional Police indicates that fragments of a military-grade explosive were recovered from the blast site near the Provisional Government Offices. Forensic teams reportedly identified components consistent with a high-yield, professionally assembled device. Officials have not commented publicly on the nature of these findings.
The explosion carved a 275-meter-wide radius of destruction, leveling several administrative buildings and shattering windows across the downtown district. Rescue operations continue for a second day as crews work through unstable debris piles in search of survivors.
While investigators have not identified any suspects, government sources speaking on condition of anonymity said early evidence suggests the attack was “coordinated and highly sophisticated.” The possibility of involvement by a militant faction or foreign actor “has not been ruled out.”
Provisional leadership remains unaccounted for following the blast. Emergency management officials have established a temporary command center on the outskirts of the city, while Krauanagazan federal aid teams and NGO responders continue to arrive on-site.
Power remains intermittent across central Med Karazh, and security forces have tightened access to the downtown exclusion zone as the investigation enters its next phase.
Terra Firma forces surrender in Keylic Izaakia after all supply routes were cut off by Makonese and Keylic Native forces. Reports suggest a build up of troops in the Makonese controlled Montacian states of Skyrack and Cote de Artemesia ahead of a major offensive in Montacia.

Prime minister Moloka’i is however struggling to deal with an 85% reduction in power supply following the Montacia Link cut, and power has been unavailable to residents for over a month, with power supplies diverted to key infrastructure such as hospitals.
Terror in Med Karazh: Investigators Confirm Deadly Blast Was Deliberate, Military-Grade Device Suspected
Med Karazh, Mitallduk— The full scale of devastation in Med Karazh is coming into focus as authorities confirm that the explosion which tore through the city’s downtown district early yesterday morning was the result of a “deliberately detonated” military-grade explosive device.
The blast, centered near the Mitalldukish Provisional Government Offices, ripped through the heart of the administrative quarter shortly after 9:00 a.m., sending shockwaves across several kilometers and leaving behind a 275-meter radius of total destruction. Windows were shattered kilometers away, cars overturned, and entire blocks reduced to rubble.
Emergency services have so far confirmed at least 312 fatalities and more than 1,100 injuries, though officials warn the numbers are expected to rise as search-and-rescue teams continue to comb through unstable debris.

In a late-night briefing, the Mitalldukish Provisional Police stated that forensic teams recovered metallic fragments and circuitry consistent with a high-yield, professionally assembled explosive. A leak from within the investigative task force, shared with GW, suggests the device may have incorporated components commonly used in military ordnance.
“This was not an improvised or opportunistic act,” said a senior security official who spoke on condition of anonymity. “The precision, scale, and timing all point to a highly coordinated operation. Whoever did this knew exactly what they were targeting.”
The Ministry of Defence has issued a memo to forces assigned to the Emeraldian Army in Krauanagaz and 4th Fleet that Operation: Southern Dawn will begin in the coming days.

Eaglestar News teams in Krauanagaz have noted that forces assigned to the EAiK and the 4th Fleet have been at high readiness levels for over a week as of today.

Med Karazh Explosion: Source Claims Satellite Imagery Points to Aerial Attack
A source close to the investigation into the Med Karazh bombing tells Global Watch that newly analyzed satellite imagery suggests the blast may have resulted from an aerial strike, not a ground-based device as previously believed. Analysts are reportedly reviewing flight data and radar logs from the morning of the explosion to determine the origin of the attack. Authorities have declined to comment.
In a report to Congress, the Ministry of Security reported that the number of Stolen Valor cases have steadily increased in the past couple of years, the report finding that most Stolen Valor cases claiming service in His Emeraldian Majesty’s Armed Forces were usually of Non-Citizen Residents or Foreign Citizens. It was noted by the Ministry of Justice that most defendants usually made the same case that Stolen Valor were apart of Free Speech, something guaranteed in the Constitution of 1756 (2022 Revision), however, it was pointed out by both lawyers and judges that the Constitution specified that Free Speech is guaranteed unless said speech is being used to commit a crime. Some foreign left-leaning online commentators have espoused claims that this is a violation of a basic human right, and some Armchair Historians, all of whom, as was noted by Emeraldian Intelligence, are infamous for spreading common myths, legends, and outright lies as Historical Fact, stated that the text was added in during the 1970’s in order to counteract counter-culture.
What most don’t understand is that Emerald at the time had no counter-culture movement, and was currently fighting against Ludvillian Revolutionaries in the Twin Stars Revolution. It was also commonly pointed out that all revisions of the 1756 Constitution are easily available online and the wording has only ever received updated grammar in the 2022 revision to make it easier to generally understand, but the wording itself has not been changed since 1756.
And as for the few Armchair Political Commentators who offered “Interpretations” of the wording, it was commonly commented by Emeraldian Viewers, and even many foreign Viewers, that the wording itself makes it extremely clear with little actual interpretation required.

The Ministry of Security, alongside the New Emral Times, the local news source in the Territory of New Emral, has announced that the 2nd Territorial Guard, New Emral’s equivalent of the Provincial National Guards in Emerald, engaged with armed shooters outside King Costin I Plaza, Acosta Malica. Four Deaths have thus far been confirmed, of which Three were armed shooters. Senior Sergeant Andrei Ionescu, New Emral Territorial Guard, was killed while engaged in close quarters combat with an armed shooter.

At least 13 Zuhlgani soldiers were reportedly killed, while the attackers allegedly withdrew without suffering casualties.
Leaked Documents Blow Open Deportation Scandal as Krauanagaz Court Moves to Hold Officials Accountable
Yayyára, Krauanagaz— New leaked court documents disclosed today have added explosive detail to the immigration crisis engulfing the Cordilian Peninsula, showing that 10,708 people were deported from three southern Krauanagazan provinces into Mitallduk in the weeks before a federal court issued an injunction halting unlawful removals.
The documents, part of evidence filed in the Coalition for Refugee Rights et al. v. Department of Health and Health Services et al. litigation before the Vellienza Federal District Court, were circulated to several aid groups and news outlets early this morning. The plaintiffs contend the material demonstrates a pattern of summary returns carried out from shelters and state-managed facilities in Krautallaz, Zhzoatal, and Luanapríg Lupriyra without meaningful review, legal counsel, or safeguards against returning people to danger.
The court previously issued a preliminary injunction on 14 September 2025 enjoining further deportations from the three provinces while a full evidentiary hearing is prepared. That order required respondents to produce a complete accounting of transfers since 1 August 2025 within seven days. The newly leaked accounting, which plaintiffs say was produced under that order, lists 10,708 names and movement records, and alleges that many transfers occurred at night, were accompanied by incomplete paperwork, and in numerous cases separated children from their parents.
“This is the accounting the public has a right to see,” said Maia Kruz, a legal coordinator for the Coalition for Refugee Rights. “The numbers are far larger than official statements acknowledged. They confirm widespread, systematic practices that put vulnerable people at risk.”
