Kohav confirms incident in MP; navy ordered to stand-down as Himmelshtern scrambles to mend relations with... everyone

February 5665

Himmelshtern, Narikaton and Darnussia - Military command in Himmelshtern confirmed earlier this morning the details of the recent incident in the Migrant's Pass involving the Lodamese Navy and the destruction of a Jelbic-made anti-submarine frigate in service with the Fleets of Amudim.

Critical of both Lodamun's actions and the admiral's decision to allow a frigate of the Yeudi Fleet to perform dangerous manoeuvres "close to a damaged submarine of another country", a spokesperson from the 3rd Point Federation issued a stark warning to "all players in this fiasco", highlighting the importance of open communication, cooperation and the 3PF's vital role in governing a heated region.

"Melikvan and the Octagon [military command in Pontesi] are on the same page with us", he commented; "this is a condemnation of Lodamun's trigger happy behaviour and Himmelshtern's trigger inviting demeanour".

Lodamun remains a ratifier of the Migrant Accords [3PF].

Following the incident, it is expected that Tel Bira's motion to disband the airforce - along the lines of the 5661 disbandment of the army branch - may be filibustered by both Himmelshtern and Sholemberg as it is rumoured that both will pursue directing funds to the navy as a concession to limiting Amudim's armed forces to just a single branch (with both AllComm and Hosheh remaining).

Xsampa
Part of the reconciliation efforts included a red-eye diplomatic flight to Metz-Leonid, in order to address the continuous signals of concern issued from Xsampa in regards to the 5663 reopening of the joint Vascanian-Jelbic base. The item received a top priority status on the docket following Egelion's confirmation of multiple joint military efforts with the Dovanian country last year, which, coupled with its prior joint operations with Bianjie has evidently led to a sharp increase in security and military related affairs concerning the Sovereign Sea and the Red Bass Ocean.

Led by the Deputy Secretary of Himmelshtern herself, the visit revolved around offering extensive assurances to Metz-Leonid that Narikaton and Darnussia and - by extension - the City States of Amudim, would honour the Non Aggression Pact signed in 5638 as part of Yishelem's surrender.

"The Fleets of Amudim are under the command of the 3rd Point Federation - there is nothing to worry about", was the official statement.

Egelion
A last round by Tel Bira itself is set to include a visit to Altea, to similarly assuage the rising Kerisian player in global affairs that neither Amudim nor Narikaton and Darnussia are looking to antagonise Egelion and its partners and allies.

"We seek to work together", a spokesperson commented when asked about the naval base in the Vascanian Sea. She then reminded journalists that Himmelshtern had only dedicated 2 missile boats and all efforts were led by Kamalata.

"After all, Amudim's naval projections are limited regionally", she added, citing the disbandment of the Shahar Fleets merely 20 years ago.
