NAVAL BLOCKADE, PUBLIC DEBT AND CIVILIAN TARGETS
10:30 Merimang Group has declared an Exclusive Economic Zone of 212nM around the Merimang Island.
11:45 PMC EXilitary has issued a blockade of the Merimreza Strait, laying subwater mines along its crossing. This essentially cuts Mainland Viliakmon from 60% of its trade, as the canal system 1 and 2 lead to the same passage where freight ships cross the Merimreza Strait.
12:15 V.A.F. Airforce Commander GM Evan Valinev issued the purchase and immediate dispatchment of 20 LCS from the private market.
12:45 Regent-Representative Idryoi has criticized both the blockade and the purchase, warning that “With the loss of control over northern Viliakmon and Merimanng Island waters, we are already running a deficit.”
15:00 V.A.F. Infantry Divisions on the Line of Effective Control have been reinforced by the V.A.F. Airforce, Wing Group XXIV consisting of 10 Scout-Recon Helicopters, 20 MRA for close combat and 20 Multi-Purpose high altitude aircraft.
15:50 V.A.F. Scout-Recon Helicopter “Owl” has reportedly been shot down by BFA forces.
17:00 Local Emergency Alarm System has been activated in Aelbasan.
17:00 V.A.F. Airforce has launched a high-altitude cluster bombing of the Aelbasan industrial zone, targeting an old warehouse where it was believed Skandergrof HQ was.
18:00 Estimated losses include 5,230 BFA insurgents and 303,000 civilians from the air strike.
