***FLASH TRAFFIC*** ***FLASH TRAFFIC*** ***FLASH TRAFFIC*** Date: April, 25th, 2024 FROM: SUPREME ALLIED COMMANDER EUROPE TO: ALL COMBATANT COMMANDS IN THE EUROPEAN AREA OF OPERATIONS Intelligence has determined with a high level of confidence that the leadership of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia has recovered the capability to deploy their nuclear force for offensive operations. CIA and NSA sources have intercepted orders from Kaliningrad to the 4th Rocket Brigade to begin dispersion and launch procedures. At this time, it is unconfirmed if the nuclear warheads have been mated with their launchers, but intelligence believes that to be an inevitability. Given past statements by the new leadership of the DPRL and the ongoing conflict, it is assessed that there is a high likelihood that the DPRL may attempt a nuclear attack on the Republic of Livonia or NATO countries. The DPRL possesses 55 tactical warheads (50-120kt yield) and 10 strategic warheads (250-330kt yield). The latter have a range of approximately 2000km and are capable of targeting sites as far away as Southern France. Efforts are underway to minimize this threat. Effective immediately, begin executing appropriate defensive deployment and preparatory actions pursuant to the tasks assigned in DODP 1983. Inform subordinate commands at once. A similar warning is being sent by the Department of Defense. Commander USAREUR inform the Livonians. All US bases in Europe are directed to take appropriate measures against possible nuclear attack. ***THIS IS NOT AN EXERCISE*** Copy to Dept. of Defense ***FLASH TRAFFIC*** ***FLASH TRAFFIC*** ***FLASH TRAFFIC***

South Livonia Attacks North, Hundreds Feared Dead The silence of the early morning hours along the Livonia DMZ was shattered by a series of artillery barrages and airstrikes as South Livonian forces launched a sudden attack across the quasi-border. Many believed that the rogue state, still reeling from the abrupt death of its dictator a few days ago, would be in disarray for some time to come. Instead, according to the Republic of Livonia's Ministry of Defense, the bulk of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia's armed forces attacked dozens of places along the DMZ. The ROL confirmed the presence of at least four DPRL Motor Rifle Regiments that have crossed the border in force, with more suspected of being not far behind. ROL forces near the DMZ under an artillery barrage The Pentagon was quick to comment in the initial hours of the attack that it is currently monitoring the situation and that while US forces are in the non-NATO country as part of a joint US-Republic of Livonian training scheme, no US forces are believed to be in combat at this time. A US destroyer is also reportedly operating in the Baltic off the coast, but the Pentagon stated that they would not be discussing precise deployments at this time. When asked how the DPRL could launch such a massive attack without any warning, representatives of the Intelligence Community said the current working theory is that several plans exist within the DPRL for a sudden attack and that one, or multiple were in effect. An emergency session of NATO has been called and the White House said the President had called the Livonian Prime Minister and the German Chancellor. ADA News Samuel Rutherford

South Livonian Dictator Dies in Helicopter Crash In a sudden turn of events, the long-standing dictator of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia, Nikolay Dragomirov, was announced to have died in a helicopter crash thirteen miles East of Kaliningrad. After a day of complete communication blackout from the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia, all radio and television services were restored and began broadcasting a looped message from the Supreme Council of Livonia, the legislative body of the rogue state. In the message, they stated that "the country's beloved leader has tragically passed away in a helicopter accident". The message proceeded to state that the cause of the crash was still being investigated, and that "if any outside involvement in this appalling incident, there will be extreme consequences". Western analysts believe this is a thinly veiled threat to the quasi-state's nuclear arsenal. Photo released by DPRL media claiming to be the crash site While details are scarce regarding the crash, several of those who follow the DPRL professionally have pointed out that while Nikolay Dragomirov was often promoting a rabid anti-Western and capitalist stance, he often flew in a Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin, which had originally been sold to the quasi-state for search and rescue purposes. Given the recent tightening of sanctions against the DPRL two years ago, DPRL analyst Marius Tadesautis based in the ROL suspects it has likely become more difficult to procure spare parts for the helicopter. Whether this led to the crash remains unknown. "But what I do know," Marius said, "is that things will get very interesting along the Livonian DMZ. I just hope cooler heads prevail".

***BREAKING NEWS*** Without warning, all communication with the rogue state of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia (DPRL, aka South Livonia) was suddenly cut today at 14:23 GMT. All television and radio stations have stopped broadcasting and the limited internet access in the country has been completely disabled. There are reports that cellphone service is similarly disabled. No official statements have been put out by the government. The Republic of Livonia (ROL, aka North Livonia) has similarly not made any official statements regarding what they consider a breakaway region. However, MNC can confirm through several off-the-record sources in the ROL that a security incident has happened in the DPRL, though there are no further details. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly. Bradward Boimler Main News Channel

Democratic People's Republic of Livonia Country Profile The present borders of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia were established during the turmoil of the collapse of the USSR in the 1990s. The former Soviet Republic of Livonia declared its independence on August 26th, 1991. However, while the majority of the population was in favor of independence (72% pro-independence), a sizable portion of the region centered around Kaliningrad opposed it. This included the Soviet 11th Guards Army stationed in Kaliningrad, who proceeded to declare their loyalty to the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, then still part of the USSR. While no shots were fired, roughly 1/4th of the region split off from the newly declared Republic of Livonia 5 days after the declaration of independence. With the fall of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic four months later, the breakaway region found themselves loyal to a state that no longer existed. Now the provisional government did declare its independence, this time from the Republic of Livonia, while claiming to be the successor state to the USSR. An authoritarian regime led by Nikolay Dragomirov was soon "elected" (independent observers found widespread incidents of voter fraud), which remains in power to this day. Photo of DPRL military on parade in 2017 with one of the ballistic missiles The international community does not recognize its self-declared statehood or the de-facto government, which remains in a stand-off with the Republic of Livonia. However, due to the nuclear stockpile that was seized from the former Soviet garrison in Kaliningrad, the state's borders and leadership have remained unchanged since 1991. There is a significant sanctions regime in place against the DPRL by Western countries, particularly after the 1998 underground nuclear test. That test was even enough to fray the DPRL's relations with the Russian Federation, which has since limited their political, economic, and military support for the regime, although they have not severed ties completely. It is estimated that the rogue quasi-state has between 40-70 tactical nuclear weapons and approximately 20 strategic nuclear weapons. And while the leader of this hermit kingdom has held on to power successfully and created a cult of personality around himself, his lack of an obvious successor and growing age has left many to wonder what comes next for the DPRL after he's gone?
