D102 Jaguar, part of the Hard Thrust deployment, has received damage after being hit by a Utrek mine near the DMZ. Its is thought the Panther destroyer had gone alone ahead of the rest of the fleet up to the DMZ to conduct scans when it was struck by a cloaked Utrek mine. Two crewmen were killed due to a collapse of ceiling supports in the room they were in and three more injured.
The Panther was able to return to the rest of the fleet at reduced power and is now undertaking repairs. The ship should be ready for the intended start of combat operations. However that may be delayed for a few days as Windy has decided to halt the fleet's progress to allow the second detachment which includes a mine sweeping flotilla to catch up.
