Missile Strikes Hit Grohand, Volkegothic Navy Retaliates
Today, September 28th, 2017, a Thunderbolt cruise missile struck the outskirts of Grohand, killing at least twenty-two civilians. This attack was launched from an Athara Magarati ship deployed to the Lotus Sea to fight the terrorist organization known as SHOCK. Shortly after, three Athara Magarati ships in the Lotus Sea were attacked by Volkegothic submarines, sinking two and damaging the third. According to the Ministry of the Navy, the ship responsible for the attack was withdrawn from the range of Volkegothic ships before retaliation could take place. Shortly after the retaliation was reported, Governor-General Hendriks released a video on uitvoerend.cr, in which he stated,
Hello, Volkegoth. I am bringing this video to you to discuss the measures that we are taking to respond to the deaths of our fellow citizens in Grohand. After the attack was reported, I ordered our fleet to hunt the remaining Athara Magarati ships in the Lotus Sea. We would be insane to leave the smallest of chances of another missile attack on our nation be. After this, I sent a formal Request of the Draft to the United Court, which was unanimously approved. I will say we will not be calling numbers for the draft until deemed necessary by a Declaration of War by the Floor of Marshals. It is unfortunate that this chain of events has come to be, and we're not even sure why the attack happened,
but the past is unchangeable. I will update you when information is available. Thank you for watching.
In the video, the Governor-General announced the early stages of the first military draft being called in recent history. He made it clear that the actual selection of draftees will not be if and when it is necessary. The tensions in the region are at an all-time high, and the future is unclear.
