A message from the DNN (Dubrovianian News Network):

Earlier this week, The Dubrovianian government unveiled its fledgling space program, as well as early plans for an outer-space missle defense shield.

One day later, threats were made by a group calling themselves "The Liberation" against the space program.

The new space program is partially government and partially commercially funded due to its formation during a time of depression in Dubroviania's economy.

Today, around 5 AM (DST), shots were fired in the research facility where the rocket was undergoing construction. Several security sweeps were made of the compound and four sabatours were arrested. Further security sweeps unveiled two bombs, one planted in a fuel facility, and one on the rocket itself.

The four detainees were prompt in their submission of information to Dubrovianian Police and Government officials.

In the late morning and afternoon, a joint local police and Secret Police effort made raids against locations given by the sabatours. By 3 PM they had seized several thousand contraband firearms, both automatic and semi-automatic. As well as several pounds of explosives. In the raids, 50 members of "The Liberation" are reported killed and wounded. According to government intelligence sources, they have also captured and detained both of the movement's main leaders. Also according to the government, the surviving detainees will be questioned further, before punishment takes place.

More information will be released as it surfaces.
