Kundrati Crisis: Pilgon has been liberated, and the Battle of Leuansk slowly ramps up

[backdated | 22 March 5587]

---

Soldiers willing to talk to the Kasaema Guardian have said that Lirnak and the Jildrathi Mainland have been liberated from the Kundrati Legion after a month-long offensive, which has left only the city of Leuansk and the area around the capital Kasaema as lands in Pilgon occupied by the Legion. The battle was tough but over in less than a month. Today, the President of Kundrati announced that Jildrath was liberated and that Pilgon was about 85% so.

The offensive has resulted in around 36,000 casualties, both dead and wounded. Tens of thousands of troops on both sides fought very hard near Aethansk (the famed city of the first Kundrati Emergency, where the city was destroyed in a colossal battle), at the border with Peghonai, and the area near Leuansk. The battle was bloody, given the tenacity of the Union and Legion forces. The fight also resulted in soldiers from the Foreign Legion being used for the second time. They were sent for a possible offensive in Lirnak, which failed for the Union. The Foreign Legion will now be sent to attack, alongside the regular army, the city of Leuansk, which remains under Legionaire control.

The President of Kundrati, Tiberius Claudius Aroain, has said that while it is unfortunate that Lirnak was nearly lost, he was happy to note that offensives can be conducted in the north to ensure that the Legion can be cut off from any chance of taking any port and keeping the Legionnaires isolated for a last battle towards Lirnak. Until then, he noted, the fight will continue. The President also condemned a recent report that foreign guns were arriving at the doorstep of the Legion, stating that those supplies may cause fears that certain nations support fascism and Ordosocialism.

However, the focus remains now: conquer the North and surround Lirnak. Defensive positions are already being made in the recently acquired areas with the intent to surround Lirnak wherever possible. Where the war will go will remain in question.
