EMERGANCY BULLETIN + BOMBING IN HEKLI

NORD PARK, Tirnreich- Less than one hour ago, several explosions seemed to occur in the Southern Residential Districts of Nord Park, an important city in the Tirnreich. Many AIN Union embassies have buildings here.

The first blast went off around 7:30pm local time. It seemed to erupt from a luxury condo complex. As of press time, an initial body count is at 210 dead, and upwards of 500 wounded. The bomb seemed to be a highly unstable mix of plastique, gasoline, propane, and gunpowder fuse. It continues to burn as of press time.

The second blast was less incindiary. Experts say it was a concussive blast; it hit a major hotel and casino complex in the CBD. Casualties include 81 casino goers and 6 hotel employees dead, and several dozen wounded. It has been confirmed that several of the dead patrons were members of the 2nd Aleksanian Fighter Squadron, on leave from the TAC FORCOM Barracks in Hekli. Also, 1 more patron was from Escambia, and 1 more employee was of Petrovian descent.

The ministry of Justice has released a statement explaining concern for the AIN II.III Expo in Nachtsburg, mere miles away. Currently, the expo is suspended. More details to follow.

Jeez, first Vansa next Escambia, now Nord Park.

Yes. this is very disturbing. Luckily, no major dignitaries or politicians were hit, although please think about the Escambian National and the Aleksanian Airmen who were caught in the attack.

Despite the previous call to suspend the II.III expo until this was sorted out, the TDF has secured Nachtsburg, the Capital city, and the IAC is monitoring events from the air, so the Expo is up and running again.

The Hiigaran are ready to support if needed the security of your country

Thank you. Are you sure? you guys recently got bombed, and the Tirnreich would not readily take aid away from a nation who needs it.

Hiigaran Confederacy is one of the largest nations in AOIN and we have the power to protect our own life.

Then we will be happy to accept Hiigaran support.

We have reconstruction and clean up crews on hand, but we are in need of security personnel around Hekli and Nord Park. The job should take around 2,500 personnel.

Also, and this goes to everyone involved, the II.III summit could use extranational security. Currently the TDF has control of security, but minizing the national manpower and maximizing foriegn security forces would allow a faster security recovery, law reinforcement, and foriegn delegates at the meetings have peace of mind knowing that a variety of soldiers are looking after them.

Thanks everyone.
