SIC: "Operation: Trojan Horse"

With permission from the government of Kiago, the Aswardi National Army has dispatched twenty (20) divisions of the light infantry, along with the assistance of ten (10) mechanized infantry regiments, five (5) brigades of the special operatives unit, into Ongi-controlled eastern Kiago, which many on the ground are now referring to as "Ongi Territory". The main objective is to once again retaliate against the Ongi for their attacks on Aswardo, specifically aimed at reducing their ability to conduct larger attacks. Just as last time, the Aswardi dominated in the battlefield, decimating the enemy at every turn, little by little crippling their manpower and reserve forces. Although less in numbers, the Aswardi are renown for their capable battle strategy and more advanced technology. This new line of offensive is mostly using recently-imported weapons from Sovern, most their world famous rifles and anti-personnel drones. Despite their moral high ground for the stakes of their honour, the Aswardi soldiers and officers have begun raiding and looting non-Ongi settlements, and have begun taking control of the vast mines that dot the region. Much like the majority of Aswardo, the soldiers themselves blame Kiago for this mess, specifically their government for letting it all happen, and as reparations, the strongest began bullying the settlers in the region as reparations for this major inconvenience. The government's recent innovations in chemical technology is being tested on the native Kiago in a large scale, ensnarling the innocent for their own benefit.

IC: President Juni Poo Poo has publicly announced that he will maintain his peacekeeping forces in eastern Kiago for the foreseeable future, to insure the Ongi can't retaliate, and has even banned the collective Kiago Armed Forces from participating in these purges, let alone enter the territory. This announcement shortly came after the Aswardi Intelligence Agency informed the President that Kiago requested the U.N.B. Task Force to leave the premises, despite the situation being the same, if not worse. Outraged, President Juni Poo Poo boldly declares his intentions.

"...Kiago failed to secure the region, the international community failed to secure the region, so we must finally secure the region..."
