BREAKING NEWS: Legionary bandits fire large ICBM east of the Free Zone

[1 August 5629]

---

The Ministry of Defense of the Kundrati Union has confirmed that earlier today, an ICBM was launched somewhere outside the Free Zone, which managed to fly through Etxea and land around 85 miles off Etxea within the Free Zone. The missile triggered air raid sirens and notifications, causing widespread alarm throughout the Free Zone of the Kundrati Union, with many seeking shelter or turning off the road and hiding wherever possible.

The Ministry of Defense has also noted that state media outside the Free Zone said that there was no payload inside the ICBM missile and that the missile strike was an attempt to intimidate the population of the Free Zone and the rest of Terra to avoid the Free Zone. After confirmation that the missile had landed away from the island, the air raid sirens and notifications were lifted. No nearby ships were directly affected by the missile's impact. However, a few boats in neighboring areas reported hearing an explosion and waves being pushed further out by a bit more than usual.

Social media throughout the island has seen numerous posts expressing fear that this could be a new sign that the Legionary bandits are planning to use ICBMs to strike the island and punish it for daring to be outside their reach. We are proud to say that the bandits remain outside the control of the Free Zone. However, the President, Tiberius Claudius Nero, did say in a televised speech throughout the island that although the bandits may possess ICBMs, the island has more bravery and guts than that of Mr. Lazar. The President urged calm and said that they would fight to their last breath to prevent the Free Zone from falling to the bandits. The party leaders of Aliantza, the Party for the Rejuvenation of the Kundrati Nation, and the National Kundrati Party have all condemned the ICBM tests and introduced bills with the Kundrati People's Party (led by the President) to unanimously denounce the ICBM attack.
-
The President will speak to their Hutorian counterparts as a result of this attack. Meetings have, coincidentally, been scheduled for sometime soon with Davostag, a now former economic partner of the Legionary bandits. The Foreign Ministry has not yet commented on the developments between Davostag and the bandits.
