ASSAULT ON VRASSA CITY
Gunfire and explosions heard in the across the city overnight
Vrassa City, Vrassa
January 19, 4086
Kalistan was thrust into turmoil last night as explosions and gunfire were heard in Vrassa City, just days after the general and presidential elections were held. According to multiple reports, several devices were detonated in multiple locations around the city. They include two outside the Conservative Independence Party headquarters and one near to the Vrassa District Assembly. Shortly afterwards, an individual entered through the back of the Conservative headquarters building and proceeded to open fire indiscriminately with a fully-automatic machine gun. Six people have been confirmed as dead, with dozens injured and as many as three hundred reported as unaccounted for.
Outgoing President of the Republic, Gwen Monchalette, was notified and quickly issued a statement on the attack;
The shooter was shot on the scene by a special forces team, dispatched when a call was made by a CIP party member within the building. An investigation has begun into who the attacker(s) were, with some sources alleging there were links between the man and senior officials within the Conservative Independence Party. There have been continued suggestions from those within and outside the party, that the far-right faction had grown increasingly militant in recent times, partly due to the moderate line taken by Mrs. Monchalette. The attack also comes just days after the CIP suffered a crushing defeat in the National Assembly elections, ending up with the joint lowest number of seats, just 89. Vrassa had previously been a Conservative Independence Party stronghold, in a time when they were returning over a third of all the Assembly Deputies. Whether this influenced the attackers is unknown.
The Republic asks all readers to remain skeptical of all claims in the immediate aftermath of this tragedy. All accounts are completely unconfirmed at this time and very little conclusive evidence is available .

Quote:A dreadful thing has happened tonight. Something awful. Kalistan, a nation in which we feel so secure has been attacked by an unknown group. I can verify reports that six people have passed away, with many more injured. Some minor damage has been inflicted on the exterior of the District Assembly and the party headquarters will be temporarily relocated to a separate location downtown. My heart truly goes out to all those affected.She is expected to give another speech at a memorial later.
