King Ahmed VII Dies, Khan An Cong Declares Himself Regent of UtemboWar has broken out between the Kingdom of Utembo and the Bianjie Khanate as Utembo is reeling from the death of their elderly King Ahmed VII who died at 93. Within hours of the Royal Palace announcing his death Khan An Cong declared his infant son, Prince Ta Phac with his wife Princess Ashanti of Utembo, King of Utembo as King Ahmed VIII with himself serving as King Regent in his son's infancy.
The Royal Palace rejected that claim with King Ahmed's nephew, Prince Ifu, being proclaimed King and declaring war on the Bianjie in the name of saving his cousins. The presence of the Kazullian peacekeeping force has done little to stem the tide between the two nations as brigades have begun clashing across the border.
Elements of the 1st Royal Armored Brigade advancing into BianjieBianjie Heavy Infantry Defending the borderBianjie Khanate forces have been widely advancing in the south while the Utembo's main thrust in the north, hardening by recently acquired foreign armor, has been their chief push. In the centre, where Kazullian UBFOR is keeping the two nation's away from each other, but its quite apparent this at Khan An Cong and Prince Ifu's tolerance, rather then any concern for being outmatched for the small mechanized battalion.
King Pu Yang Executes Foreign Spies on National TVEarlier today King Pu Yang announced he had executed two "foreign spies" on national television. The first foreign agent was executed by boiling in steaming water and his body being cooked and served at a state banquet while the second foreign spy was executed, via one of King Pu Yang's favorite methods, by being feed to his pet Tiger. As a particularly twisted sense of the King's own dark sense of humor, the first agent that had been cooked was served to two remaining foreign agents the King has declared are apart of the same cell, as their sole source of rations for days without their knowledge.
King Pu YangLet this be a warning to any Foreign Agents or Terrorists that are meddling in internal Xsampian affairs. You will be hunted, you will be found, and you will be served justice... in one way of the other.
King Pu Yang has not stated one way or the other what country that the foreign cell is from nor whether he had discovered more but it is noted that he has recalled elements of the Royal Guard back into Rygal Province, even as the rest of the Royal Army continued an aggressive push at routing out the Path of the Dawn in the north.
