Earlier today seperatists from the Rising Tide group struck a shipment of Preatonian missiles. This is the single most significant attack since the Kyan civil war years ago. The civil war was a response to increased militarism and lessened democracy in the Kyan government. Unfortunately for the militants, the war only sparked a huge expansion of the Kyan military which resulted in the seperatist movement being crushed. Shortly afterwards, the short but extremely deadly and destructive Kroandon war took place, destroying the entire Kyan navy and a good portion of the air force. Now the Kyan military is once again expanding, this time to over ten times what its capacity before the Kroandon war was.

The attack on the military train was carried out with high explosives and rocket launchers. Only 2 deaths came as a result of the attack, but over 20 million USD worth of Preatonian missiles were destroyed. The attack was swiftly responded to with an air strike on the area from which the militants attacked. 7 bodies were found, but it appears that many of the attackers had already fled the scene by the time the Kyan military could respond to the attack. The military has once again been placed on high alert, and this could just be the tip of the iceberg.
