In Vulkar, Vulkaria, terrorists attacked the embassies of Libertas Omnium Maximus, Shen, and Shuell, as well as a school sponsored by Byzconia. In the Strait of Vulkaria, a Laeralian naval vessel called the LNS Celeste was also attacked. Over 1,490 people were killed in the attacks, and thousands more were injured.

Van'a Kamoni, the leader of the M.L.F., claimed responsibility for the attack. In response, Vulkarian President Farhen Brooks requested a boost to military aid and direct intervention by Zamastan and other foreign nations. President of Zamastan Foley Sakzi announced the creation of a coalition to "destroy terrorism and liberate Vulkaria", aimed at reclaiming the territory controlled by the M.L.F. and V.N.A. in Northwest Vulkaria since 2017. The coalition forces arrived in Vulkaria and began an offensive to defeat the insurgents on January 6th, 2020.
