Kundrati Crisis: Armed Forces of Kundrati attack the Kundrati Legionnaires

[19 May 5586]

---

This morning, the Second Kundrati Emergency began. The Kundrati Legion and the Armed Forces of Kundrati have struck their first blows.
-
The Armed Forces of Kundrati's National Capital Command have been spotted moving around the capital of Kasaema, with multiple battles between Legionnaires, police, and pro-KL forces against soldiers from the NCC and other military units. In effect, the city has turned into a war zone, and the constitutional crisis that has sprung up over the last few years has finally met its climax.
-
Military troops from the NCC, including helicopters and paratroopers, landed in the Presidential Office Building and the house of the President, Bronislav Sladek. A short battle commenced; however, the Presidential Guard and pro-KL forces were easily repelled and quickly surrendered. In the course of events, as the President was getting ready to sleep, soldiers reportedly kicked down his door and grabbed the President and anyone else inside. The President, alongside anyone who was inside the house, was taken prisoner, and military troops were placed outside the POB and the home of the President to prevent Legionaire attacks.
-
However, the attempt to siege the National Assembly did not go well. Soldiers, including three tanks and paratroopers, attempted to storm the NA building and tried to force the lawmakers who were inside debating the merits of the declaration of the state of siege to turn on the President and impeach him for various crimes. However, the paramilitary forces protecting the building began a fierce battle against the military, which lasted for hours. Parts of the building were damaged, with soldiers managing to get inside. However, civilians and paramilitary forces managed to trap them or force them into a retreat. The military troops there were ordered to retreat, and they were moved to other parts of the capital, with lawmakers inside quickly blaming the National Coalition for attempting to perform a coup d'etat. The National Assembly has begun motions to censure their Coalition counterparts; however, the first votes have yet to be conducted.
-
Soldiers attempted to siege the Kundrati Legionaire (newspaper) offices and other national newspaper, radio, and television studios throughout the city. Some of those studios quickly surrendered as they did not have Legionaire protection or protection and could not get there in time. However, most military attacks on the media were unable to get through, as reports of the military being unable to secure the state broadcaster among the Legionnaire newspaper spread throughout the city. While social media is divided in support of the coup, most newspapers and media outlets have decided not to comment, given the confusion over what was happening.
-
Finally, we get to the attack on the Kundrati Legionnaires, the paramilitary that has struck our country within the last few years. They were headquartered throughout the city as the Kasaema Police Department, various sections of the military, and other volunteers of the Legionnaires were a part of the vast paramilitary organization. Many tanks and soldiers were sent to these locations; however, the inability to seize the media, alongside the learning of the fact the President was captured, led to the paramilitary being able to hold off the military advance. The military was forced to retreat many times as high casualties were felt due to the paramilitary being supported by the latest in weapons by the Kundrati Defense Contractors. The Legionnaires established a foothold of several blocks surrounding the Kasaema Police Department headquarters, the Kundrati Legion party headquarters, and various hideouts throughout the city. However, we should note that all transport hubs, such as supplies or reinforcements, were seized during the coup d'etat, preventing anyone from getting in or out.
-
As of now, Kasaema is at a crossroads. The military has managed to set up checkpoints at various streets and avenues, especially near the house of the President and his office building. However, fierce battles continue between the Legionnaires and the Armed Forces throughout many streets in our capital, especially in areas where they have managed to set up as their territory. It is unknown whether the coup d'etat will succeed or not, given these circumstances, or whether or not this will be the "First Battle of Kasaema." In the streets, though, the people have reacted accordingly. Many have decided to arm themselves with their pistols and weapons and joined the fight. In contrast, others have begun to run away from the city or towards various safe areas that they know, like a relative's house or a city bunker. Many buildings, especially in areas with the worst fighting, are already being looted and burnt, with law and order breaking down in those areas and some buildings even being demolished either in whole or in part. Hospitals in Kasaema are currently overrun, with many areas being set up as triage centers, and the smell of dead bodies, burning buildings, and war itself is the smell of Kasaema this morning.
