Software malfunction could have led to international battle
President asks pardon

First results of the investigation show that a ship from the Lourenne navy was struck by a new MIL sea-to-sea missile during the live firing conducted by the Lodamese navy. Testimonies show that a software malfunction in the guidance system of the MIL 49-K SSM has caused the missile to jump to homing mode and targetted a ship of Lourenne that was 27 nautical miles away from the platform. While the shooting sector seemed clear, our navy underestimated the range of the new missile.
Once the missile was launched, connection was lost due to software issues and the ship's personnel couldn't do anything to retrieve the missile. An broadcast was sent on international safety channels, but it was too late.
Lourenne would have responded as an act of selfdefence, causing the loss of one of our frigates and 12 souls.
President Devis has officialy asked for a pardon and has promised to further investigate this matter. There has been a bid for all the parties to come together and meet and discuss the future. President Devis said that a solution should be found for the issues in the Anantonese Ocean, and there should be an international treaty to finally set the boundaries of different zones in the Ocean, such as the firing exercise area.
