Last week a RCPP ship was hit by a mine left behind by the Utrek near Mila, this week its the turn of the DDS! Marconi class EW ship E103 Braun was hit after leaving Mila for some unspecified "training" operations near the Utrek border. It is thought the training involved special forces though this has not been confirmed (and likely will never be).
The ship suffered a hull breach but only minor injuries have been reported. The ship has returned to Mila for repairs. Mine sweeping patrols by ships in the Edge Cutter deployment are due to begin at the weekend after the deployment was relocated to this part of Remedian space earlier in the week.
