Terrorist Attacks Against Russian Peacekeepers Escalating in Chernarus 

Soyuz News - October 29th, 2019

 

A pair of bombs were detonated in the DPRC town of Berezino yesterday as a convoy of Russian troops drove by on their way to support the defense of Elektrozavodsk. The attack killed several of the soldiers, as well as at least a dozen civilians who were nearby, Soyuz News has confirmed. The Chernarussian Liberation Front, an insurgent terrorist group that aims to force the DPRC into reuniting with the Republic of Chernarus, has claimed credit for the bombing, though they deny that civilians were killed, saying they only pursue military targets. This is just the latest in a string of attacks by the CLF across the DPRC, which according to officials there, have claimed at least 300 lives, most of them civilians. An estimated 58 of those are Russian peacekeepers, though the government has declined to comment on specific casualties.

President Antonov has issued a statement condemning these attacks, which he says might be supported from the other side of the border, though he did not specify if he believed that meant the CDF was supporting the CLF, or possibly NATO. He has also renewed his calls for the UN to step in and provide peacekeepers, rather than risking tensions with NATO, who refuses to accept a diplomatic solution to the ongoing crisis.
