Titcakhanotene, New Alexandria; ABCC News – Following the declaration of a state of emergency for the Viceroyalty of New Alexandria, the 3rd Brigade Combat Team was parachuted deep into territory in New Alexandria under the control of the Falange para la Liberacion Indigena, located east of Rennes. The attack, heavily supported by a strong bombing campaign, was directed at the FLI’s main training camp located several miles to the east of Rennes, deep in Ahnazosi territory. The attack comes as a response to the severely crippling terrorist attack in Rennes yesterday evening.

The Ministry of War released a statement outlining the details of the attack, calling the military operation “Eternal Steel”. The Ministry of War claims to have killed the FLI leader, Ahuitzotl Maquahuitl Cuauhtli, in the midst of the fray. No other sources have confirmed this information as of the publishing of this article.

Resistance from FLI forces was strong, having drawn Alexandrian troops into battle for several hours before succumbing to the Imperial forces. However, most analysts as well as the Ministry of War were incredibly surprised by the quick collapse of the FLI resistance, with original estimates confidently stating that the Falange had the capability and resources to fight Alexandrian forces for at least a year. 980 guerilla bodies have been counted, and are currently in the process of being identified. Large ammunition, weapons and explosive caches were seized, as well as documents and other valuable information.

The Ministry of War is confidently stating that the “insurrection is over”. However, Lucia Montiel, a resident of Rennes, believes otherwise. “The Falange has wide support here in New Alexandria, it is said they even have infiltrated the colonial government itself. If we don’t fix the social and economic problems of the area, we won’t see an end to the insurrection for a long time,” she stated. “They will regroup, and come back.”
