Just shortly after announcing a potential intervention into New Verham, the Dovanian nation descended into chaos. A civil war is now ongoing in New Verham, will multiple sides, struggles, and potential outcomes to decide the fate of the region. The Egelian Aramda, which was called into the region days ago, stopped at its current maritime location to fire several ICBMs (non-nuclear) into several pre-determined targets by the Royal Directory. This move officially entered Egelion into the conflict. Royal Councilor Montalivet, who oversees all matters of the armed forces, was in direct communication with leaders of the pro-democracy militias in Chukyo to determine the best possible alternative for a new central government. Without a true government to steer the nation in one direction, New Verham will descend into multisided chaos.

Royal Councilor Mondragon and the IDE have stated that New Verham's civil conflict must be concluded immediately by force since all diplomatic avenues have been exhausted and were very limited to begin with. Egelion's armed forces have been tasked with holding key assets in the nation. According to some ground reports, there are "unknown forces" currently at Chukyo International Airport in the capital. Hangars are being set on fire and communication with the control tower is unavailable. Egelian aircraft, notably the Rafale R5s and Unionfighters have established air superiority in the region and are actively supervising the region.

It is expected that while the civil war is still at an early stage, the conflict nonetheless remain an active war zone. Royal Councilor Mondragon held a call last night with Metz-Leonid regarding Egelion's forces in the area. Mondragon confirmed that Egelion's purpose was to "end the war" as soon as possible to return stability to the region and ensure that New Verham's future was as democratic as it could be, leaving its autocratic regime in the past. While the current situation is heavily dominated by Egelian forces, Mondragon has swung the door wide open for potential involvement from global powers to decide the future of New Verham and allow for open reconstruction. Wishful thinking for the next few months however are premature as the war has only begun and military escalations are now at their highest.
