Army depot set on fire on Miliaris, nuclear warheads evacuated?

Another mass drone attack has been launched by Freedom Miliaris militants, one of the main depots of the Clone Army was hit and suffered significant damage, including being set on fire. NS is reporting that the Clones urgently removed some items from the depot and took them up to a ship in orbit. Although unconfirmed, it is thought these were nuclear warheads for use by the Clone Space Missile launchers which are on Miliaris.

NS say the Clones may also remove the launchers from the planet, it is thought five mobile launchers were on Miliaris though one was already damaged in an early militant attack.

Elsewhere, there have been reports of heavy fighting in one of the larger ethnic Eritran towns as Clone Army soldiers were ambushed by FM militants and other Eritrans. Significant casualties on both sides are reported.

Clone Army goes into Eritran towns, drone factory found

The Clone Army has finally started entering ethnic Eritran towns and villages on Miliaris. The army had been holding off due to fears of inflaming the situation but after the mass drone attacks the decision has been made to go in and root out Freedom Miliaris.

A workshop which was making drones has been discovered, about thirty drones were seized in various stages of construction, though a miliary source said they think there are at least five other workshops on the planet. 

Molab has said dozens of Eritran civilians have been killed by Clone troops during these incursions. The Clones are not commenting on this.

Miliaris air force taken out by mass drone strike

Two hundred and fifty Molab type drones were launched in a mass attack on the main air base on Miliaris earlier today. Despite the strengthened layered air defence set up by the Clone Defence Forces (which includes troop reinforcements with personal weapons), nearly half of the drones got through and caused severe damage to the air base.

The base's air traffic control tower saw a direct hit, causing a collapse. Multiple hits to the maintenance hangars caused a fire which soon raged out of control and reached an ammunition store. It is estimated four K47s, eight K85s and two K44 transports were destroyed. Others damaged. The death toll is unknown but is estimated to be nearly a hundred.

A number of aircraft in the air at the time had to divert to the small airport at the Miliaris capital. The Miliaris air force has relocated it's HQ functions to the airport. It is thought surviving or repaired aircraft will be dispersed to two smaller air bases on the planet.

The Clone Army say the drones are powered by small paraffin fuelled engines, the Clones have banned the sale of paraffin and are confiscating all civilian supplies. The army is also said to be preparing to enter Eritran ethnic towns and villages looking for the workshops were it is thought these drones are being built. This could cause a general uprising but the Clones may no longer have a choice.
