NS have conducted a successful hit and run raid against the MBO fleet. An NS source said that a fleet detachment led by The Chef attacked the MBO fleet which is now between Liberation and New Jakarta. The attack is said to have included stand-off MRMs launched by NS bombers and a follow-up attack by NS cruisers.
NS said six MBO transports were destroyed and two warships, thought to be Nectar frigates. NS lost a cruiser, a Solaris 37C which has yet to be identified.
While this raid has been lauded as a morale boosting victory, an independent source in the UNP has said that the loss of yet another cruiser is probably more significant than a few transports.
