OOC Source: NATOCahtice: Early in the afternoon a series of attacks in the capital of Cahtice shocked the people of Deltaria. The attacks, 5 in total, have reportedly killed 321 people as of now with a additional 1.000 injured. At the central metro station of Cahtice, recently renovated, a series of bombs exploded, collapsing the central hub and killing over 100 people. Near the Federal Assembly the Federal Police killed two gunmen that were firing on pedestrians with assault rifles and were on their way to the parliament building. Two officers and 29 pedestrians have been killed in that attack as of now. On the Cahtice river a tourboat has sunk after two men, armed with knives, first stabbed several of the tourists on the boat and later detonated a makeshift bomb, killing all but 4 passengers. In the last attack the President himself was apparently targetted, with four gunmen trying to enter the protected zone around the presidential palace. They reportedly killed two checkpoint guards before 3 of them were shot dead and the last was severely injured by both Federal Police and SUVO agents.
The attack caused widespread panic in the Deltarian capital, one of the largest cities in Majatra, the panic caused another 10 deaths as car accidents and several incidents of looting escalated. As of now the internal security agency SUVO, Federal Police and intelligence elements of the military have put the capital on lockdown. Strategic, symbolic and vital locations have been secured and checkpoints have been put in place. Residents of Cahtice have been ordered to stay home and follow guidelines from local and national authorities.
The devastating attack has been claimed by the Dovani Liberation Organization or DLO. This organization, known to be extremely active in Dovani and sometimes on a wider scale, has made it its goal to create a Dovani superstate, denouncing all foreign influences in Dovani and adhering to a pan-dovani ideology. In their statement the organization has called the attack "a victory for the pan-dovani movement" and a "vital blow to the Deltarian invaders that keep interfering in Dovani matters".
Throughout the country people have reacted with disbelief. The #Deltaria has been trending throughout the day and many express their fears for further attacks on social media platforms. In response to the attack Federal President Zukal has announced a national emergency to take effect, allowing the security services more widespread authority to deal with and investigate threats as well as putting in place a nationwide curfew for after 9 PM in the evening, allowing security forces to better track suspicious movement. President Zukal stated that, "This is not an attack on Deltaria alone. Its an attack on democracy, a attack on decency and a attack on Terran solidarity. Let us come together and fight the evil that has today struck our federation. I will work tirelesly with the Federal Assembly, security services and my cabinet to find and and bring to justice those responsible for this attack."
As of now the situation remains tense and emergency services continue to look for survivors. The National Emergency has taken effect immediately and its unclear for how long it will stay in effect.
