The Maritime Defence Force section of NSIS, supported by N01 Maritime Support Regiment troops, have foiled an attempt by anti-NS protesters to land on Helikan Island, the location of NS GHQ. Three small craft were intercepted by the MDF, sixteen activists were arrested and handed over to the Proxima 5 police authorities. A sweep by troops verified that no one managed to land on the island.
The activists are part of an coalition opposed to NS and it's increasing role in UNP defence and affairs. It is thought the activists aim had been to place banners on NS buildings on the island. Security sweeps at sea and on land have been stepped up.
