General Bobby Johnson and his men arrived in the border city of Tiorovsk in Sorbanika, Liktatonia to a heroes welcome. Men cheered as the troops, tanks and armoured personal carriers marched through the streets. Women and children offered flowers. The men were able to successfully retreat along with an estimated 10,000 Likatonian-Rapulan refugees, under the cover of the Likatonian air-force who bombed the attacking Lodamun forces. The Ministry of Defence confirmed that 15 Sukhoi SU-39 Ground Support planes were lost in action. The Emissary Andrew Moore visited the border city, awarding the 10 successful pilots with awards.
On the coast of Rapula, the Likatonian Navy launched a pre-emptive strike on the Lodamun Navy. The Lodamun aircraft carrier “LNS Ronaldo” was torpedoed twice by the Likatonian Typhoon-Class Submarine, “LSS Rooney”. Confirmed reports from Lodamun state that aircraft carrier LNS Ronaldo received severe damage but wasn’t sunk. However a Lodamun Destroyer was sunk by two Likatonian Typhoon Class Submarines off the coast of Rapula.
Liktonian Defence Minister James Turner stated that it was “the decision of a Likatonian Navy and Intelligence Services to strike the aircraft carrier as it was very close to Likatonian waters and posed a very serious threat to Likatonia.”
Signed,
the Government of the Axis Mundi Likatonian Res Publica
