====November 18====
Widespread efforts to secure the area continued into the following day, with Durakan military and law enforcement personnel called in from around the occupation zone to deploy into the town and surrounding countryside. The sheer number of detained Vakari was sufficient to overwhelm local detention facilities and required the establishment of an ad hoc camp outside K-17 for processing. The highest priority for Durakan efforts remained the apprehension of the Vorosijm however, particularly as the authorities remained uncertain as to the actual size and capabilities of the group. Lingering fears that the Khrystalpol Incident was the beginning of a larger Vakari uprising led to a general alert across the occupied country. Proposals were put forth by Durakan commanders for harsher measures such as the nationwide reimposition of curfews, travel restrictions, and bans on gatherings, but these were ultimately not enacted outside of the Khrystalpol area.
On the evening of November 18, Durakan search teams received an anonymous tipoff that a group of armed men had taken over the administrative annex of the Khrystalpol Ironworks, an abandoned pre-war industrial complex several miles from the town. Law enforcement personnel had already been en route to examine the site, but were now ordered not to approach the complex. A military special operations group was dispatched instead to deal with the militiamen. While few details surrounding the subsequent firefight have been made public, the Durakan military later reported that all five Vorosijm members had been killed in the shootout with no casualties among Durakan servicemembers.
