Malatian jets have bombed Brikvanian air defence installations since early this morning as fighting between ethnic Malatian rebels backed by Malatia and Brikvanian government forces intensified along the frontline in the Malatian Province of Brikvania. 

Malatia had sent 5 infantry brigades into rebel-held territories in Brikvania, backed by 200 tanks. These forces have begun attacking Brikvanian government-held defence positions around the city of Midea, the provincial capital of Malatian Province.

The city is currently being defended by some 4,000 commandos and infantry troops from 1st and 3rd Brikvanian Regiment. Residents in Midea have reported heaving exchange of gunfire and artillery shelling.  

Malatia claimed that its forces are just assisting the rebels to defend themselves. However, residents reported Malatian army units have moved into the outskirts of Midea from three directions. 

Malatian jets have also attacked Brikvanian radar and air defence installations around the capital of Brikvania, Briktown. Air raid siren was sounded in the city at around 7 am this morning, and residents were seen rushing to air raid shelters.

Shortly after that, several explosions were heard across Briktown, as the Malatian jets targeted the international airport and the Defence Ministry complex.  

Brikvanian anti-aircraft guns were in action and attempted to shoot down Malatian jets flying over the city. 

King Brik II, who was in Brown Castle when the air attacks took place, was escorted into the Royal Bunker for his own safety.

So far the Brikvanian Defence Ministry said there has been no injury or fatality in the air attacks.
