- reported by Osiris, Mein Blork, Iceland.

Five days since a Globemaster jet carrying supplies for the Socialists was shot down by the Terrorists, the first gunshots were heard outside the refugee camp in S.Rajacurry. Soon after, infantry exchanged fire while Terrorists' tanks fired upon temporary shelters housing hundreds of civilians. The casualty toll is yet to be disclosed.

Socialist F-22 fighters bombed key structures in the capital city of Mein Blork, destroying a communications tower in the process. With the lack of modern communications equipment, Terrorist military commanders have to resort to giving orders using a loudhailer on the podium. Despite the installation of the anti-aircraft defenses, no F-22 jet has been shot down during the inital bombing runs this morning. The Terrorists are currently preparing their runways for the launch of their own F-18 Strike Hornets to counter the F-22s.

The United States issued a statement at 1000hrs local time. According to the spokesman for the White House, the United States will not support either faction in the Icelandic war. Contrary to the report by Da Vinci five days ago, the US has made it clear that its military reinforcements in the region are only to aid in the neutralization of the conflict, and that the soldiers have been instructed to only return fire when fired upon. The USS Roosevelt Carrier Battle Group is in the area to conduct surveillance of Iceland, and also to provide supplies for the refugees caught between the lines. The CBG also established a naval blockade preventing ships from entering or leaving Icelandic waters.

Despite the statement made by the White House, the Terrorists highly suspect that US forces were working with the Socialists to overthrow the administration. Said a top-ranking official, "The Americans tell lies. Our IT Dept. intercepted radio transmissions from the Socialists' pilots, and these were actually being relayed to a coordinator onboard a US E-2C Hawkeye aircraft. If the Americans are not involved directly in this conflict, then why are they interfering with the Socialists mission?"

Neither a Socialist nor an American official could be reached for comment.

Although the fighting has already broken out, the administration is still giving the Socialists the option to surrender and sign a truce. However after having been cheated by the Terrorists once, the Socialists are not believing a single word from the administration anymore. Still, the Terrorists believe that given the immense firepower of their 66th Armour Division at S.Rajacurry, the Socialists will be forced to comply and surrender.
