The '''2021 City of Asilica Terrorist Attack''', also called the '''21/6 attacks''' or '''21/6/21''', were two related terrorist acts that took place in Asilica, the capital city of [[Asilica]], on June 21st, 2021. While the final tally of casualties has not yet been released by Asilican authorities, the most recent estimate is more than 850 people dead and more than 1,500 people injured.<ref name ="RN2">{{cite web|url=https://forum.theeastpacific.com/viewtopic.php?p=246973#p246973|title=GRAND COUNCIL BOMBING UPDATE: Casualties reach 1,500, 12 Grand Councilors found alive|date=June 21, 2021|website=RTN}}</ref> The first terrorist act was the explosion of what is believed to have been an improvised [[wikipedia:ANFO|ammonium nitrate fertilizer-based bomb]] mounted in a van or truck at 8:01am local time, just after the Grand Council had gaveled into session.<ref name="RN1">{{cite web|url=https://forum.theeastpacific.com/viewtopic.php?p=246939#p246939|title=SANCTUARY LOST: TERRORIST BOMBING AT NATIONAL ASSEMBLY KILLS AT LEAST 400, OVER A THOUSAND INJURED|date=June 21, 2021|website=RTN}}</ref> The blast entirely demolished the building housing the [[Asilica#National Assembly|Grand Council]] of Asilica, the lower house of that country's legislature. All those inside, including Chancellor [[Asilica#Chancellor|Lisetta Gronden]] and the entire Council of State, were killed instantly. Also catastrophically damaged were the Grand Council Secretariat, the building housing the offices and support staff of the Councilors, and the Classical Era Wing of the National Museum of History. There were also several storefronts either across the street or within the radius of a few city blocks that were either completely or partially damaged, most notably the flagship storefront and headquarters of the Asilican watch company [[Janus|Janus Group SA]].<ref name="RN1" />
The second act of terror was a mass shooting committed by Benedikt Schöner,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://forum.theeastpacific.com/viewtopic.php?p=246971#p246971|title=Asilican president addresses attacks as Rosalican government responds to security concerns|date=June 22, 2021|website=The Rosalica Tribune}}</ref> a 51-year old Asilica canton man who was employed by the canton as a garbage collector. Schöner, who was not reported as missing from work because he had bribed a coworker to fraudulently swipe his time card, was parked in his car across the street from the Senate building, several blocks to the north of the blast, at the time of the explosion. Armed with an LR-10 automatic assault rifle, legally purchased from a licensed militia equipment dealer, he shot at victims of the blast as they fled. Schöner shot at least 48 people, 19 of whom died. This act alone would have ranked as the single deadliest terror incident in Asilican history, a record previously held by the 1997 University of Valladia shooting in which 13 women were killed by self-proclaimed anti-feminist activist Franz Stenzel.

==Continuity of Government considerations==
The blast instantly killed almost all of the Grand Council of Asilica, the lower chamber of the National Assembly.
[[Asilica#President|President Jörg Renatsch]], elected in January of 2020, is the constitutional Commander-in-Chief of the Armies and Militias, an otherwise ceremonial title that gives him de jure control over the country's military apparatus without the necessity of a functioning Council of State. And as cited by the President's Chief of Staff, Calogero Galati, there is "plain legal basis for the President to direct government efforts" based in the Constitution's text that says the President shall "preserve and enforce the law," that the President's office is currently using to justify the President's place at the top of the improvised chain of command.
