Clone Air Force K85s and K40s have launched a series of air strikes across Lornaca Melnig as the planned offensive against the Lornaca Fighters insurgents begins. Although chemical weapons have been deployed to the planet by the CDF it is thought unlikely they will be used.
Instead the Clones plan an intense series of air strikes against suspected insurgent positions. Clone Army units are also being prepared for deployment to follow-up. One K40 is reported to have been lost though this is thought to be due to technical failure not enemy fire.
