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. Defence Secretary [[Mikhail Sankuda]] and Chairwoman of Joralesian Reform Kiara Fassel were among the dead.
