Brivanian Forces Made Strategic Retreat

The city of Midea, the provincial capital of the Malatian province, has been captured by advancing Malatian troops.

Brikvanian sources said that the Brikvanian government has decided to withdraw the entire Brikvanian army from the Malatian Province as part of a strategic retreat.

Reports from the frontline indicate Malatia had deployed its tanks into Brikvania for the first time. Some 400 tanks have encircled Midea, and overran Brijvanian forward positions in Malatian Province. 

Several Brikvanian units were trapped and captured. The Brikvanian High Command decided to make a strategic retreat to ensure the bulk of the Brikvanian army is intact to defend the capital.

Malatia has also launched several air attacks on the capital, Briktown. Military installations and the Briktown international airport were targeted. Loud explosions were heard across the capital city throughout the night.

The Kingdom of Legonia has condemned the Malatian invasion of Brikvania, and urged Malatia to cease all military operations and pull back its troops.

Legonia will host an urgent summit involving all members of NARTO, the Non-Aggression Royalists Treaty Organisation, which is a defence pact in the Bricks region.

The small kingdom of Suva, a member of NARTO, has requested the deployment of more Legonian troops in Suva to deter any potential Malatian aggression.
