Operation Sovereign Right II, the mop-up operation to clear Cauja, was having quite some success. Despite missiles from IYFs forces, the clean-up was going as planned. Despite the supposed Ontorisan resurgence, the Ontorisans were small in number, barely holding on to regimental organization. Estimates put total Ontorisan strength, including untrained insurgents, at 30.000 men, or which only about 15.000 would be regulars from the Army. Cauja was largely secure, save for the occasional car bomb. Ethnic Ontorisans were arrested, then stuffed onto military cargo planes and sent towards Ruolnik, were the government would purchase them tickets to Calvisburg. The operation was going successfully: 355.000 had already been deported to Ruolnik, and a further 485.000 were arrested and would not be able to join the insurgency. This left a very small pool of about 200.000 Ontorisans, of which only about 150.000 would be able to fight, from which insurgents could be drawn, and the government was already working on arresting those people, while Lollohian militia units patrolled the streets.
Over Lolloh
Hundreds of cargo planes were now conducting daily airlifts, sending millions of tonnes of supplies into Dekkar and other cities. The famine was easing.

The election results have been confirmed as accurate, and the new MPs will be sworn in to Parliament within one week to resume normal functions.
