【특보】제국해방전선 괴멸！

흉악한 사건들을 벌여 온 《제국해방전선》이 결국 괴멸했다. 몇 개월에 걸쳐 국내를 시끄럽게 했던 테러리스트의 최후는 어떠하였는가. 본지는 현장인 놀티아주, 작센 철광산에 보도팀을 파견해 검증을 진행했다.

◆철광산 점거부터 제압까지◆

흉악한 사건을 벌이고 제국의 뼈대인 작센 철광산까지 점거한 제국해방전선. 「칠흑 같은 비행정이 돌연 나타나 어쩔 수가 없었다」 （광산의 남성） 범행성명이 발표되자 놀티아주 영방군은 현장을 봉쇄, 사태는 장기화의 양상을 보였다.

진전이 있었던 것은 약 4시간 후, 별동대를 보내 인질을 구출한 철도헌병대가 강행 돌입을 시작. 순양함 《커레이져스》로 달려오신 올리발트 전하에 의해 현장의 혼란도 종식되었다. 「철도헌병대는 신속 정확하게 움직였다」 （현장 검증 중인 군 관계자）

◆테러리스트의 최후◆

비공정에서 도주를 시도한 테러리스트 간부는 적재한 폭발물의 오작동으로 자멸한 것으로 보인다. 지금까지 정체불명으로 여겨지던 주모자의 사체가 회수되어 군 정보국이 현재 신원을 조회하고 있다고 한다.

◆사관 후보생도 협력◆

현장에는 마침 자리에 있던 토르즈 사관학교 학생이 사태 해결에 협력. 그 공적에 대해 폐하께 치하받았다고 한다.

「현지에서 실습 중이었기 때문에 신속한 행동이 가능했다」（학교관계자）

장래 유망한 사관 후보생의 미래를 기대한다.

【국제】크로스벨에서 대규모 테러 사건인가

제국해방전선에 의한 테러 사건은 해결되었지만 동부 크로스벨주에서는 새로운 대규모 테러 사건이 발생한 모양이다. 엽병단의 테러로 추정되는데, 거리는 순간 화염에 휩싸였고 IBC 본사 빌딩이 완전히 폭파되었다고 한다. 현지에서는 지금도 혼란이 계속되고 있으며, 속보를 기다리고 있다.

「크로스벨은 지난달에도 테러 사건이 발생하였는데 내정 상태에 처음부터 문제가 있었던 것은 아닌가」 （군 관계자）

크로스벨주는 제국군의 조력을 거절하고 있어 경제계에서도 비난과 조기해결을 요구하는 목소리가 커지고 있다.

【문화】토르즈 사관학교의 학원제

제도 근교, 트리스타에 있는 토르즈 사관학교는 지금 학원제의 계절을 맞이하고 있다. 매년 풍성한 볼거리로 즐거움을 주는 학원제. 마침 테러 사건 해결에 협력하여 주목을 받고 있으니 이번 기회에 방문해보는 것은 어떨까？ 기간은 이번 달 23, 24일이다.

[Special Feature] Imperial Liberation Front Defeated!

The Liberation Front's several month long reign of terror is finally over. But just how did the group come to be defeated once and for all? We sent a team of reporters to the Sachsen Iron Mine in the Nortia Province where the group met its end, to investigate.

The Iron Mine - From Occupation to Release

Continuing a string of unforgivable acts of terrorism, the Imperial Liberation Front successfully seized control of the backbone of the Erebonian economy, the Sachsen Iron Mine.

'A jet black airship appeared out of nowhere. We just didn't know what to do.' (Miner)

After the terrorists made a statement announcing their crime, the Nortia Provincial Army rushed to the scene and cordoned it off, prompting the beginning of a lengthy stalemate.

It was four hours before any further developments occurred, when, after sending in a separate unit to ensure the safety of the hostages, the Railway Military Police forced their way into the mine. Furthermore, Prince Olivert rushed to the scene aboard the Courageous, the Imperial family's cruiser, and restored calm to the area.

'The Railway Military Police worked quickly and skilfully,' noted an army source on the scene.

The Terrorists' End

The ringleaders of the terrorist group attempted to escape on their airship, but it appears that there were explosives on board, which mistakenly activated during their retreat. The body of their leader, whose identity was previously unknown, was successfully recovered, and the army's Intelligence Division is currently working to ascertain his or her identity.

Military Academy Students Assist in Operation

Reports suggest that students of Thors Military Academy, who were coincidentally at the scene, assisted in the resolution of the incident. His Majesty the Emperor is said to have extended his gratitude to them for their contribution.

'The students were at the area conducting a field study, so they were able to act quickly,' said an academy spokesman.

It seems clear that these students have a very promising future ahead of them, and I hope they will continue to strive for excellence.

[International] Terrorist Attack in Crossbell

The resolution of the recent chain of terrorist attacks here in Erebonia may have just been brought to a close, but Crossbell to the east has recently fallen victim to yet another large scale terrorist attack. The attack is believed to have been the work of a jaeger corps, and reports suggest that the damage was significant, with fires as far as the eye could see, and the complete destruction of the IBC corporate headquarters. The situation in the city remains chaotic, but hopefully further reports will shed light on the situation.

'It has only been a month since Crossbell was last attacked by terrorists. Surely this suggests the country's government is performing inadequately?' suggested an army source well acquainted with the situation.

Furthermore, the Crossbell State has continued to refuse the Imperial Army's offers of assistance, and has been receiving criticism from financial circles, who are seeking a quick resolution to the situation.

[Culture] Thors Military Academy Festival

It is almost time for the annual festival at Thors Military Academy, situated in the town of Trista on the outskirts of Heimdallr. The academy's festival is well known for its scale and quality, and is enjoyed by countless visitors every year. To further highlight the excellence of the student body, the academy has also recently gained attention for the involvement of some of its pupils in bringing an end to the recent terrorist attacks. Why not take this opportunity to visit and see what Thors Academy has to offer? The festival will be held on the 23rd and 24th of this month.
