Two CH-26 helicopters have been shot down on Lornaca Melnig in mysterious circumstances. The helicopters were checking a Lornaca fighters silo and making sure they knew of their government's surrender when they came under fire. The HCS are claiming that DDS SAMs were used in the attack and are accusing the DDS of operating clandestine teams on the planet.
The DDS have denied they have any forces on the planet. The DDS Provider 71A transport on station to evacuate UNP citizens has for the moment been ordered out of Lornacan orbit by the HCS.
