JULY 28, 1918

TO: MINISTERS OF STATE

FROM: News Reporter

DATELINE: Bahkan

The government of Bahkan has reported that Penland nationalists have staged a massive armed attack along her borders. They have taken control of the East River and have bombed government facilities in the capital.

It is believed that the raiders are members of the same group which have been staging smaller raids on the Bahkan border in previous months.

This action is by far the most serious yet taken by Penland sympathizers. Bahkan officials charge that this attack was led by the regular Penlandian Army, and is an act of outright aggression against Bahkan territorial integrity.

Government representatives in Penland have refused to comment on the current crisis. This leads to speculation that Bahkan officials are making a legitimate charge.

There are also reports that there have been massive troop movements in Penland, both in the direction of Sandia and Yorkton.
