CSE-E head Marcus has ordered more troops and aircraft be sent to Miliaris as the attacks by Freedom Milaris militants continue. Another mass attack using Molab built drones was launched yesterday on the Clone Army HQ on the planet. More damage was reported though most of the drones were shot down by mass anti-aircraft fire.
Three drones were also launched on an army depot near the capital, a fire was started though damage is reported to have been slight.
The Clones have launched air and missile attacks against half a dozen villages suspected to be used by the Freedom Miliaris militant group, however some sources say that is likely only innocent civilians were at the locations. The Clones launched attacks with their K47 and K85 aircraft, plus some medium range ballistic missiles.
One Freedom Miliaris aligned source said that seventeen Eritran and two Clone civilians had been killed in the attacks but no militants.
The Clone Army has still to restore it's communication network on the planet after the deadly attack on their HQ on Miliaris. A Clone warship in orbit is continuing to serve as an emergency communication hub.
A car bomb has exploded outside of a Clone Army depot on Laalande 21649, another planet in CSE-E. No reports of any casualties have been made though there was damage made to the depot building. The fear is that this is the start of a new insurgency inspired by Freedom Miliaris.
The authorities have been quick to lock down the town the depot is in and have begun a criminal investigation.
Around nineteen attack drones have been used in an attack on the Clone Army HQ on Miliaris, in what must be seen as a major escalation of the Freedom Miliaris insurgency. The HQ was badly damaged in the attack as was the main military communications hub on the planet. The Clones have been forced to use a warship in orbit as for planet wide communications.
The Clones said that Molab built drones were used in the attack, as they had been in the previous attack on the nearby air base. CSE-E leader Marcus has threatened Molab with serious consequences if they get involved in the affairs of the empire.
