BREAKING NEWS: Nisrad of Himmelshtern issues 2nd Azhara to Xsampa; "vital strategic position", says the Kohav

March 5592

Himmelshtern, North Bank - It seems that the recent news coming in from Zardugal on a joint aircraft carrier project together with Xsampa have tanked any lingering internal deliberations with the Beiteynuese Government on whether to de-escalate and back down or not since Xsampa's call for reparations issued back in 5589, after a naval stand-off led to an impromptu skirmish earlier that year, with damages on both sides.

The Secretary of the Nisrad of Himmelshtern issued the 2nd Azhara earlier today, with the Agaf and the Nisrad of Yishelem following up with a statement for Xsampa to "cease its antagonising efforts", citing Beiteynu's long-standing strategic interests in the region.

Preliminary findings on who initiated the unauthorised skirmish in 5589 seem to pinpoint to the Beiteynuese firing first after being encircled rather "aggressively" by several Xsampan warships, adding further fuel to the diplomatic tensions with Kanjor, which had recently sided with Xsampa.

-

At present, there are a total of more than 50 warships of the Beiteynuese Naval Command in the region just northeast of Vascania and eastwards of the Traitor's Depth, comprising a total of 3 fleets: Kadima III's carrier strike group, the Lekavot Fleet from Himmelshtern and the Hofesh Fleet from Rishon Le Hofesh in the West Bank. All fleets have been directed to enter and remain on a weapons armed stance.

According to high-ranking sources with the Kohav, additional submarine flotillas have been deployed southwards in the Red Bass Ocean, in a strategic effort to provide flanking cover for Kadima II, which remains deployed in Southwest Vascania.

All fleets pack Yeudicho IRBMs, further increasing concerns that the situation may in fact escalate to a 3rd Azhara.

The Agaf has declined to comment on the reparations demanded by Xsampa, noting how the Yeudi Homeland maintains no comms with "that nation".
