Breaking News: Latest report from the Nordu Dannistra City bombings
North Dannistaan Police Force has released an update regarding the situation in Nordu Dannistra City. Approximately 72 people have been killed and another 212 injured, 32 of those are life threatening. Several building have been damaged in Embassy Row, Saint Joeseph Avenue and Canada Road. It is now known the vehicle containing the bomb was parked in Embassy Row, on the South Side, near a pedestrianised plaza opposite the Free Pacific States Embassy. The Embassy itself only suffered superficial damage to the walls but at least 2 marines on guard duty have been reported as injured. Elsewhere, all other State Police Forces have increased their alert statuses and have warned all citizens to stay alert. The Dannistrian Prime Minister, P'aanil F'orrlason-Smith, has returned from the People's Republic of Bai Lung, stating that he is prepared to do everything it takes to prevent anymore attacks in Dannistaan.

"I believe it is the people's right to live in a free and safe environment. We will not allow the insurgents to force a change in our lifestyle simply because they do not agree with it. We must unite as one to stand up against this threat. And we must beat this threat, otherwise, there will be nothing left," said the Prime Minister during a press conference.

Currently the airport has tripled security checks and all military personnel on leave or otherwise not on active duty are asked to be on 72 hour standby until further notice. Police have setup check points around the national capital Dannistra Onn as well as the state capitals of Ann'try, Nordu Dannistra City, For'af, Kitewood and Lo'wo'ohn. Citizens and tourists will be asked to keep identity documents with them until further notice.

Car Bomb kills 23 in Darril-Bensoh, Tyrsis
In related news, a car bomb has exploded in 10th Emperor's Road in the city of Darril-Bensoh in Tyrsis, killing 23 people and injuring 53 more. The explosion happened shortly after the bombing in Nordu Dannistra City, prompting some to claim it may be a coordinated attack. The car bomb exploded in a crowded market being held on the road, prompting fears that most of the casualties will be Tyrsisian civilians. The Tyrsis Interim Government has appealed for calm and is asking for further help to cope with the situation. Dannistrian Army reserve units are now being called up to try to stabilise the situation in Tyrsis. Meanwhile, in the capital Tyrsis Prime, protests are being held against the Dannistrian troops presence in the nation. Some claim that the Dannistrian presence has not been of any use at all and has only created further problems. The Dannistrian Central Defence Command was unavailable for comment.

Weapons cache found near Nordan Tyrsis City
A weapons cache has been found in an abandoned factory in Nordan Tyrsis City, in the northern end of Tyrsis. A Dannistrian army unit made the discovery during a routine patrol of the city perimeter. The weapons consist of Bai Lungese Type 95 Assault Rifles, Type 92 Pistols, Type 97 RPGs, Type-55Z Anti-Aircraft Missile Launchers and about 100 KG of plastic explosives. The find is greatly worrying as a lot of the firearms are new models currently being manufactured by Bai Lungs arms companies. The cache was destroyed shortly after its discovery.

Village destroyed by ISB forces in Bai Lung
Unconfirmed reports from the People's Republic of Bai Lung claim that the village of Wan Shui has been razed to the ground by ISB forces during a crackdown on political dissidents. No numbers have been released on the number dead or injured. The Bai Lungese Government has so far denied any such actions took place, dismissing the reports as "Foreign propaganda". It is estimated by human rights groups Amnesty International that around 300 people were killed in the operation.

Breaking News: Latest report from the Nordu Dannistra City bombings

Opposition call for total withdrawal

The Leader of the Opposition in the Central Parliament, Kil'leesi Mor'nith of the Conservatives, has called for a total withdrawal of the troops. He claims that the Governments Peacekeeping operation in Tyrsis has directly contributed to the terrorist attack in Nordu Dannistra City. Speaking in a special interview filmed for the Newsnight Dannistaan program, Mr. Mor'nith warned that continued involvment will only cause problems for the rest of the Confederacy.

"I strongly believe that continuing to station troops in Tyrsis will only increase resentment. The best thing we can do now is to leave while we are not totally committed. Otherwise, there is no telling what damage we inflict and sustain," he said when asked what he thought of the current situation.

A Government spokesperson rubbished the Conservative leaders comments, citing that "Many of Mr. Mor'nith's own backbenchers supported the action and admitted to voting for it, hence we cannot understand how he can claim to speak for his own party, let alone the people of Dannistaan, when it is obvious there are divisions within his MPs."

Riots break out in Tyrsis Prime
Posted Image
Rioting has broken out in the capital of Tyrsis, Tyrsis Prime. The troubles started when a protest of pro-Imperialists clashed with members from an anti-Imperial protest. The police say over 30 people were injured in the incident. The pro-Imperialists wanted Dannistrian troops out and the return of the Emperor. The anti-Imperialists wanted the Emperor punished to the fullest extent of the law and for the peacekeepers to stay. At first only bottles and stones were thrown before firearms were used amongst the two crowds. Rioting and looting then broke out amongst the two sides. Dannistrian peacekeepers and local police used teargas to break up the violence and made several arrests.

Tyrsis Interim Government outlines structure of administration
The Tyrsis Interim Government has released its plans to overhaul the nations Governmental structure. The plans reveal the proposals to ultimately join the Confederacy of Dannistaan, where the bulk of the peacekeeping forces come from. Replacing the Emperors Advisory council will be a bicameral Tyrsisian Parliament consisting of the National Assembly of around 200 elected members and the National Council of around appointed 50 members. It is also planned that the Central Parliament in Dannistaan will have the number of members increased to accomodate a Tyrsisian delegation of MPs. Currently the Dannistrian Government is preparing to set up a Tyrsis Office to deal with Tyrsisian affairs.
