Arms shipment stopped at border with Auraterraxis

At approximately 11:23 PM local time, a truck ostenbly carrying firewood between Auraterraxis and the Aztec Lands was inspected at the border and found to be carrying a virtual cache of weapons.

Although the Aztec Lands are not currently disclosing exactly what weapons were found, they have released the types:

-Several assault rifles
-A few rocket launchers or RPGs
-Two sniper rifles
-Several handguns, mostly small ones
-15kg of C4 explosive
-5 hand grenades
-one disassembled high-caliber machine gun

The weapons were clearly headed for Zapotec terrorists. The Zapotec Territory is known for housing several Zapotec liberation groups, and despite the Civil Guard and Militia's best attempts at finding them, the large amount of people- the second-largest ethnic group in the Lands- makes it almost impossible.

Imperial Army investigators have confirmed what nation did this, and are waiting for the correct time to reveal such information.

The Aztec Lands, fresh off a war with the SCA, is rebuilding its armed forces and changing its economy back from a wartime status, but is expected to make a full recovery.
