Earlier today in the industrial city of Dong Feng in the state of Midland, a Solkov Metals Consortium was the site of a massive explosion. Seventy people have been reported injured, with no deaths currently documented. Fifty-five are being hospitalized for burns, while the other fifteen are in critical condition.

The explosion was revealed to have been caused by a truck bomb made from military-grade materials. Surveillance reveals that several Middle Eastern men and an Asian, 6'2, 6'1 and 6'5 respectively, drove the truck into the parking lot by the cargo bay where several other trucks were parked, ready to ship the ores to a refinery in the neighboring city of Trident. They then exited the truck, and left the consortium. Several minutes later, an explosion went off, nearly destroying the camera and the refinery. The parked trucks and a section of the wall was blown away, along with several of the employees' parked cars.

DPFD files have revealed the identities of the suspects as Khaled al-Muqbar, Mahmoud Fahjim, and Kim Young-Sam, all with connections to the North Sahrani government. North Sahrani is South Sahrani's hostile neighbor, and the USGA is allied with South Sahrani.

The Pentagon has issued a manhunt for the perpetrators, and a $10,000,000 reward will be given to whoever captures or leads to the capture of the Consortium bombers, dead or alive.
