The '''Lantern Tower bombing''' was a terrorist attack on part of an office complex in the city of Ewising, [[Joralesia]], in the central business district on 20 August 2021. At that time, Lantern Tower was being used as the meeting point between senior members of the [[Cabinet of Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlian Cabinet]] and members of the [[Lance Jedwin|Joralesian administration]].
A TBG-7 was fired from a low-rise building south of the tower by [[Kyrloth|Kyrlot]] nationalist Fai'e'ad Tazennasz, who had utilised a radio app on a restricted police frequency to map police and sniper rotations, and a smuggler tunnel network that had not been found in tunnel extermination measures in the mid 20th century to bypass a large police presence. The TBG-7 thermobaric warhead travelled through the window to the meeting and exploded in the room. [[Prime Ministers of Great Morstaybishlia|Prime Minister]] [[Franklin Barvata]] and Home Secretary [[Vellin Rinardel]] narrowly escaped the explosion and were the sole survivors from the meeting. In all, 18 Morstaybishlian and Joralesian politicians, servicepersons and janitor staff were killed, and 56 others were injured.
