===1982===
On June 18th, 1982, M.L.F. launched its first attack, the [[Alanis Pride Parade Bombing]]. The attack targeted a parade celebrating the legalization of same-sex marriage in [[Zamastan]] following legislation signed by [[President of Zamastan]] [[Cassious Castovia]]. This attack was originally thought to be perpetrated by a radical hate group, which was condemned by Castovia and the leaders of nearly every allied nation of Zamastan’s. However, it was soon discovered that the bombing was carried out by the M.L.F. operating out of Vulkaria. 

Evidence found near the blast sites included bits of metal, nails, ball bearings, black nylon pieces from a backpack, remains of an electronic circuit board, and wiring. A pressure cooker lid was found on a nearby rooftop. Both of the improvised explosive devices were pressure cooker bombs manufactured by the bomber. Federal authorities quickly discovered a man matching descriptions given by witnesses prior to the bombing of a suspect. He was arrested at a checkpoint just outside Alanis, and after shortly attempting to flee and being recaptured, he confessed to the bombing. Because the man was registered as a refugee, his identity was found to be falsified and his real name was never discovered, though he did reveal that he was a member of the M.L.F., which reached the desk of Cassious Castovia exactly one day after the bombing.

Throughout the rest of the week, many more attacks took place against other targets. Most were small attacks that failed to kill people, however, two attacks did occur that involved multiple casualties- both fatalities and injuries. These events pressed Zamastan’s interest beyond domestic policy for the first time since the second world war. The first of these occurred on June 20th, where a bomb detonated outside of the [[Zian Presidential Mansion]] in Tofino, killing seven security guards and four tourists. President Castovia wasn’t injured, but the glass windows of the Gaviria Room in which he was sitting did shatter and injure some of his aides. The second attack was a mass stabbing at [[Tofino International Airport]] which resulted in the deaths of three people and the injuries of nearly forty more.

These attacks were the driving force behind Zamastan's invasion of Vulkaria, which culminated in the [[First War in Vulkaria]].
