The Kingdom of Legonia has placed the Royal Armed Forces of Legonia (RAFL) on red alert. All leaves are cancelled and regular personnel has been recalled back to their bases.

Several Legonian warships are reported to have been deployed to the sea. There is no confirmation from the Legonian Defence Ministry. 

Four reserve divisions are being mobilised, with tanks and armoured vehicles being warmed up and ready to be deployed to the frontline. 

"Our intelligence has raised concerns that Malatia is preparing to invade Brikvania soon. The invasion will be a threat to all minifigs and we must be prepared", said Sir Uquhart, the Legonian Defence Minister. 

Legonian Prime Minister Sir Winston Mofty urged all Legonians to evacuate from Brikvania. "We are chartering two evacuation flights and are prepared to pull out Legonians from Brikvania", said Sir Mofty.

There are about 5,000 Legonians in Brikvania, with most of them residing in Briktown, the capital of Brikvania. Some 1,200 have already returned to Legonia. 

In Briktown, the situation seems normal but tense. Supermarkets report long queues as residents are stockpiling on food and supply. 

King Brik II has gone to the media and urged all subjects to remain calm. "We are working to avoid a war and are still negotiating with Malatia", said King Brik II.
