This morning the city of Hume(Capital of Kravoli) was rocked by 9 separate explosion in the space of 15minutes. The cause of the explosions is not known, as this time, but terrorism has not being ruled out.

The blasts where reported all over the city and no pattern has been found.

The First and Second blasts can at 11:34 and 11:35 respectavly and devestated an area of the banking district, with as many as 124 people being killed and many hundred more hospitalised. The first blast can from an unknown source and was the smaller of the blasts, not too long after that the 2nd MUCH larger explosions happened killing or seriously injuring people that came over to see what had happened, It left a hole 2m by 2m in the road and damaged nearby building that had to be evacuated.

3 smaller blasts where reported near the area but these where much smaller and in total only slightly injured 1 person.

The 6th and largest blast occured in a crowded shopping centre and going by security video, it would appear that a petrol tanker rammed one of the enterenced and exploded blowing a massive hole into the centre and sending burning fuel flying into nearby areas. Around 500 people are reported to have been killed or seriously injured.

The 7th and 8th explosions rocked the central railway station killing 15 and injuring 128 more.

The 9th and final explosion was a car bomb but luckly only the detonator exploded, No casualties were reported

A horrid event for any nation of the Federation to undergo. The full weight of the Joint Defense Force and the Privy Council stand behind you in these times of troubles.

After further investigation a further 3 bomb where found throughout the city but for one reason or another they did not go off. Authorities say the death toll that currently stands at 546 could have more than doubled had the extra bomb gone off.

A group calling themselves the Kravoli Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for the attack but this cannot be confirmed as a real claim at this time.

More to come on this break news item.
