Missile fired at HCSN warship

HCS Navy destroyer D02 Micom has come under attack by an anti-ship missile fired by pirates off the north coast of Ailier. The missile, which has not been identified yet, lost it's lock after Micom deployed counter measures and landed harmlessly in the sea, harmlessly except for a few fish maybe.

The HCSN have warned before that the pirates have been using their ill-gotten gains to buy advanced weaponry from other worlds though this is the first time a missile has been uses. Because of it's failure it is speculated the missile may be an old HCS missile. HCS intelligence investigators are looking into withdrawn stocks. It has been known for some time that some weapons have gone missing over the years.
