Following the incidents from as early as yesterday, unrest continues to grow in the northwestern parts of the newly formed nation "The Emirate of Sultenia". Representatives of the National Party (currently the only party in Sultenia and de facto goverment) are urging all citizens in the affected areas to stay indoors until further notice.

This morning, a relifconvoy headed to the smaller towns in the newly annexed region of Hjoltsne, bringing building material and supplies to the citizens of the area, was ambushed by an armed group in the small town of "Hjordenheim" in the northern parts of the "Hjoltsne"-region.
No reports have been made about the fate of the convoys crew.

However the convoys crew did mangage to make a quick distress call, this was picked up by the "2nd Mechanized Infantry Detachment" currently stationed in the region. Arriving into the town the 2nd mechanized encountered hostile resistance.

The 2nd mechanized has, as reported by goverment officials "the situation under control". However sporadic reports and stories made by alledged locals via e-mail and internet calims that fighting still rages on and that the govermental forces have been using indesciminate and unaccurate mortar and medium artillery attacks on parts of the town and that surrendering "resistance fighters" are being shot when approching the military's positions.

All fact is reported by representatives of the National Party in Sultenia and commanders of The Ground Forces of Sultenia.
Photos have been sent by unknown residents of the affected town Hjordenheim.
