New Trabia, East Verona: In a move, said by government analyists to be a show of insurgence "growing a set of balls" The headquarters for the newly founded East Verona Foreign Ministry building was rocked by a truck bomb which drove into the lobby. 26 people were killed, while approximately 100 others were wounded, including East Verona Foreign Minister Shiela McNamara.

President Seth Hunter responded by calling up 5,000 reservists to quell the insurrection, which has escalated to insane numbers. Since the beginning of the insurgency last month, at least 110 Veronese civilians have been killed. Police forces are mobilized to protect the cities, although the government warns that police presence in the countryside is very lacking.

Foreign citizens are warned not to wander past major cities, and Veronese nationals all carry weapons and ride in convoys to defend themselves, a quick fix until a more unified nation can be secured.

Veronese police and the government are still investigating the bombing, although loyalists of deposed King Anthony VII seem to be the perpitrators.
