Conclusion of our live updates
Our live coverage of the UGR airstrikes on Krovosk has concluded. Thank you for following along with us.
UGR issues statement confirming 'precision counter-terrorism operation' in Krovosk
The United Republic of Great Ritan has released its first official comment on the Krovosk strikes, describing them as a "limited and targeted counter-terrorism operation" conducted in response to "continued VLF-hostile activities" and the recent attack in Canmore.
The Ministry of Defense stated that the operation focused strictly on degrading the military capability of the VLF and preventing future attacks.
Officials emphasized that Great Ritan does not seek a wider conflict but will "take all measures deemed necessary to neutralize imminent threats to national and ICN-partner security."
The statement made no mention of reported civilian casualties in Krovosk.
Two VLF training centers hit; group reports one civilian casualty
Reports from the Serenitia Conflict Monitor and independent observers indicate that two VLF-operated training compounds in the west of the country were hit during the strikes.
The VLF states that one civilian was killed and several injured after debris impacted nearby housing areas, though this claim has not been independently verified.
Analysts note that both compounds have been previously flagged in intelligence briefings as sites used for militant training and weapons handling.
UGR strike reportedly targets VLF missile storage facility
Local Krovoskan sources aligned with the VLF report that a missile storage silo complex west of El-Krov was struck in one of the final waves of UGR attacks.
Great Ritan has previously identified it as a launch-site staging ground used in cross-border rocket attacks.
Casualty numbers remain unclear. The VLF claims six of its personnel were killed in the strike.
Major damage sustained at VLF radar sites near El-Krov
Early assessments reviewed by Serenitian monitoring groups indicate that at least seven VLF-operated radar sites on the outskirts of El-Krov were heavily damaged during the UGR airstrikes.
The installations, located north of the capital, appear to have suffered direct hits, with large sections of their antenna arrays destroyed and support structures collapsed. The extent of the operational impact on VLF air-defense capabilities is not yet known.
The VLF claims the sites were civilian defensive infrastructure, a characterization disputed by independent analysts who identify them as military-use radar stations long associated with the group.
VLF says attacks have concluded, damage being assessed
The VLF has announced that the UGR airstrikes on Krovosk have concluded, with initial reports indicating significant damage to infrastructure and civilian areas.
The group is currently assessing the full extent of the damage and casualties resulting from the attacks, with further updates expected in the coming hours.
Great Ritan still has not released an official statement regarding the attack on Krovosk.
Serenitia Conflict Monitor reports power outages in Krovosk
The Serenitia Conflict Monitor reports widespread power outages across multiple regions of Krovosk, including parts of the capital El-Krov, following continued airstrikes by UGR forces.
The cause of the outages remains unconfirmed, though disruptions are believed to be linked to recent military activity affecting energy infrastructure or transmission networks.
No official statement has yet been issued by UGR officials regarding the strikes.
Awaiting updates from Krovosk
The situation in Krovosk is currently developing, with reports of ongoing airstrikes. Little information is available at this time.
Why is Great Ritan attacking Krovosk?
Great Ritan's current strikes on Krovosk follow a sharp escalation with the VLF, a militant group that has carried out multiple attacks on Great Ritan and its allies, including the recent terror attack in Canmore which left 8 dead and dozens injured.
Over the past two years, the UGR has moved from border defense and limited operations to direct military pressure on VLF-controlled territory, citing repeated missile launches, cross-border attacks, and terrorist activity linked to the group.
Officials in White Valley say the campaign is a part of a wider effort to eliminate the VLF's ability to operate, fund, and arm itself, especially after intelligence indicated the group had expanded its attacks beyond Great Ritan itself. The country considers the VLF an existential threat and rhetoric from officials has emphasized the need for decisive action.
Civilian airspace closed over southern Great Ritan
The UGR Ministry of Aviation announced an immediate airspace ban over southern Great Ritan, suspending all civilian flights in affected regions "until further notice" due to "developing security situations."
At least 5 flights have been diverted or cancelled as a result of the closure.
