Vulkarian President Farhen Brooks, who is believed to have been the target of yesterday's M.L.F. claimed bombing in Amstelveen, announced today that the Vulkarian Armed Forces would begin a new offensive into Northwestern Vulkaria, where insurgent forces have established their stronghold over the past two years. The M.L.F., V.N.A., and several other armed groups been in a violent state of rebellion against the Federal government since the summer of 2017.

"In response to the hostile and despicable, evil acts of the Malvarian terrorists," President Brooks said on Friday, "the Armed Forces of Vulkaria will be starting a new offensive to seize control of the city of Thunville, which has been occupied by resistance forces for several months. The government of Vulkaria recognizes the Treaty of 2005 as null and void, and will exercise the right of the federal government to reclaim the sovereign territory."

The President issued an executive order for the Armed Forces of Vulkaria to begin the offensive shortly before the announcement. It is unknown whether they will request assistance, militarily or otherwise, from coalition members such as Zamastan, Cadair, Legionas, Osirisa or Laeral.

The M.L.F. claimed responsibility for the bombing, and has reiterated its plans for resistance against government forces in both an outright armed conflict and continued attacks. More than 35,000 people have fled the region around Thunville over the past two weeks, the Vulkarian Government has said, amid warnings of air raids by Vulkarian government forces targeting the last major opposition bastion in the region.

"With the latest escalation of violence in northwest Vulkaria, civilians in the Lacarno and Monza provinces are again suffering from the devastating consequences of hostilities," it said.

Since mid-September, Vulkarian forces have pressed on with an assault on armed fighters in Lacarno and Monza, despite an August ceasefire deal and calls for de-escalation from Zamastan, Cadair, and Legionas. They are in support of the Vulkarian government, but have repeatedly tried to enforce and oversee stronger regulation of ceasefire agreements

The new military moves announced by President Brooks came as M.L.F. and rebel loyalists advanced on the ground.
