KFNS Tappatahwee Struck by Anti-Ship Missile
For Immediate Release
It is our tragic obligation to inform you that in a tragic incident yesterday afternoon, the KFNS Tappatahwee, a Kevluarital-class littoral defense vessel, was struck by an anti-ship missile launched by Red K militants from Pohnarras Island. The attack resulted in severe damage to the vessel, leading to the loss of 27 crew members and leaving another 21 in need of medical treatment. 4 crew members remain unaccounted for at this time and are considered to be missing-in-action.
The Secretary Vinkana and Admiral Kakoroa expresse profound sorrow at the loss of our brave sailors and extend their deepest condolences to the families and loved ones affected by this devastating event. The injured crew members are currently receiving medical attention at the Navy Hospital at Joint Base Krautallaz in Mitayyapríg.
The Tappatahwee was actively engaged in counter-terrorism operations as part of the ongoing crisis response on Pohnarras. Despite facing unexpected and hostile actions, the crew displayed exceptional courage and dedication in the face of adversity.
The Department of the Federal Navy is committed to conducting a thorough review into the circumstances surrounding this incident. We will work closely with relevant authorities to bring those responsible for this reprehensible act to justice.
As we mourn the loss of our colleagues, the resolve of the Federal Navy remains unshaken. We will continue to play a crucial role in supporting the efforts to restore peace and stability to Pohnarras Island.
Signed,
Department of the Federal Navy
Secretary Kylan Vinkana
