Clone TV news outlets are reporting an explosion and a fire at a military facility south of Beyond Micom on Cloneworld. The facility is said to be a chemical weapon development lab for the Clone Army though the military insist it is merely a "storage depot".
A wide area around the facility has been evacuated and cordoned off, luckily the prevailing winds are currently away from Beyond Micom, the second biggest city on Cloneworld. Two K72EMR NBC reconnaissance aircraft have been reported to be circling the exclusion zone. The aircraft are equipped for detecting NBC substances in the atmosphere.
An unnamed source has also said there is increased activity an at army base near Ailier City which is where the Clone Army's specialist NBC Warfare Regiment is based.
