Streamers and people were everywhere. The landslide victory of the Kuril Referendum was being celebrated by the new citizens of Kiru Tao with fireworks, food, and more in the new provincial capital of Katakuri. Far away from the main festivities, crouched on the mountain side, was Takeshi Likaan, a Dominigasque operative of Sakhan-Kiru Taoese descent who had been chosen for this mission a few days before both for his appearance, but also because he personally felt strongly against the Kurils joining "the enemy", due to identifying more with his Sakhan heritage. And so, knowing full well what would happen, he took the specialized laser painter scope, and set out for the new territory of the TCG's nemesis. He took his time. He meticulously left no trace of his existance, even if he thought what was coming next would obliterate any such trail, and he set up on the mountainside. It was a simple, small tripod for which he placed the scope. He then spent the next day finding the perfect spot. His first idea was the central square of Katakuri, but from his position, that took hours to find, but find it he did. He then plugged in the scope to a GPS transmitter with a heavily encrypted signal. He had been to use a commercial transmitter rather than military, to better help conceal his identity. Kiru Tao made good transmitters, as did Porcu, the Teutons, the Kasnyians, and the Russians. But the Teutonic brand had flooded the market after the Cologne War, so they were the easiest (though not the cheapest) to get ahold of. He had been told it would take a few minutes for his signal to get processed and another few to launch. Indeed, he could have left now if he wanted and be out of the blast radius, though it was questionable whether he'd escape the radioactive effects. Likaan didn't bother. Death was a kinder fate than radiation sickness, and he was sick of being a sleeper agent in this awful place, simply because he looked like one of them. He wanted to return to Siberia, if truth be told, but he knew the South African would never let him do so. He was too good at his job. He got tone eight minutes later. Five minutes after that, a flash of light enveloped Katakuri. He didn't look away. Even as he was blinded, he smiled. The shockwave then threw him into the mountainside, killing him instantly as the flames of the explosion itself finally reached and scoured everything. Katakuri ceased to exist. |

A great tragedy has struck us and another terrible atrocity committed. Just shortly after the Kuril Islands had joined the Empire, their capital has been destroyed by a nuclear strike from a source currently unknown. There is no question in our mind who is behind this dreadful and nefarious attack—the Transcontinental Contingent Group. Across the world the TCG has launched a campaign of nuclear terror with Katakuri as their latest target. But know this, the Constitutional Empire of Kiru Tao will not back down and will continue to stand strong. Task Force Oleon will continue its objective of hunting the war criminal Konstantin Ganz Gassel and bring him and any who follow him to justice. Kiru Tao dedicates itself to a cause for good, and it will not rest until the evil that is the TCG is vanquished! Emperor Kojirou Gokaru, Most Benevolent Ruler of Kiru Tao ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The sinners in the darkness have struck again, and once again we condemn their actions. The TCG and the Knights Hospitaller will burn in the fires of Hell for all eternity for their actions. But once again I must plead the world to abandon their nuclear weapons and dismantle them, for four times now since the Papal Crusade they have been used and have brought nothing more than tragedy and misery. Salvation in a world free from such vile weapons is not too late. Pope Castillo, Sovereign and Bishop of Rome |

The Parliament and People of Porcu wish to express their deepest condolences to the families and individuals affected by this tragic occurrence. The Republic offers its assistance to the Constitutional Empire of Kiru Tao and can make ready humanitarian assistance from Hong Kong & Macau immediately. |

The Kasnyian Empire condemns this attack on our great ally and stand by Kiru Tao in this time of grief, and promises to assist in any way. In the meantime, Kasnyian medical and humanitarian vessels are already in route. |

Kiru Tao thanks the international community for its concerns and assistance at this dark time. We have also petitioned ICON for aid from H.E.A.R.T. Know that we will not allow ourselves to be bullied by the TCG and that their attempts to terrorize us have only brought us closer together.
