Kundrati Crisis: Kundrati Legion takes all of Kasaema, the Armed Forces retreat to the south of the country, Jildrathi City is declared the capital of the Kundrati Union

[28 August 5586]

---

The Battle of Kasaema ended with the victory of the Kundrati Legion and their paramilitaries, who, in a major assault on the forces of the Union, devastated the Union forces to the point where retreat was inevitable. An attack on the Presidential Palace, still being held by Union forces, alongside Union-held neighborhoods spread out throughout the city, was overwhelming for the Army whose units were slaughtered. Reports are coming out that around 15,000 Union soldiers have gone missing, been killed off, or were wounded in some way, with possibly more being captured as prisoners of war.

This would be a big blow to the Kundrati Union, who now loses their capital to the forces of the Legion. This also means that the ongoing civil war has spread throughout the country as the Kundrati Legion seeks to head south towards where the Union is reassembling on the island of Etxea. On this island, the National Coalition party and the people of the Armed Forces have set up Jildrathi City on the island's eastern shores (where the largest naval base in Kundrati is located) as their new capital. Entrenchments, including booby traps, minefields, and the like, have been and are being set up in various portions of the south, with new defense lines comprising from Venora to Aethansk and from Galensk to Urdaitz being made.

These scenes remind viewers of the Kundrati Emergency of long ago, when democratic forces were able to set up similar positions and tactics. In the southern states and communities, the Armed Forces have seized the state governments, and the military has begun to set up conditions to allow them to continue the fight even if the defense lines are overrun. Plans are underway to train civilians on counterinsurgency tactics and how to operate weapons and use various items as makeshift weapons if the scenes of the Battle of Kasaema are repeated. Such training is being ramped up in Aethansk and Venora, with training in other territories focused on building encampments and entrenchments and providing first aid.
