==== Night of Helfire ====
On the 15th of September, 10:15 P.M. local time and lasting until roughly 5:00 A.M. two hours before sunrise in Autonomous Republic of Mkæniszna. The Mkænian Socialist Liberation Front targeted several garrison outposts, road checkpoints, patrols and a logistical base. Resulting in 45 confirmed dead, and 67 severely injured East Atlalandian soldiers. Out of the eleven outposts attacked, five outposts was rendered completely inoperable and eight other outposts are considered to be heavily damaged but still functional by the East Atlalandian military. The main killer of these attacks being homemade suicide drones and improvised explosive devices, often in most explosives using nails or marbles as shrapnel. For outposts and the base itself, military grade explosives was used rather than the IEDs. Road strips and small rockslides was proved to be used to stop mechanized patrols, though the road strips only stopped non-armored vehicles such as technicals and covered trucks. Rockslides that blocked the roads delayed reinforcements from arriving to the outposts, and in other cases was attacked themselves through the use of drones or sniper fire. Number of autopsies found that several bodies of soldiers died from blades and arrows, being completely unaware as evidence by the lack of defense wounds. The MSLF would rotate between hit-and-run attacks and full on assaults. Sometimes sticking to attacking a outpost, for half-a-hour and then retreating only then restart the offense against the outpost later after a hour. Other cases, the outpost would be attacked by drones and sniper fire, suffering damage to various buildings only then to suddenly stop for the rest of night. It is unclear what was the specific target in the outpost, as the [[East Atlalandr|East Atlalandian]] government has been tight-lipped about the attack.
The logistic base itself, was deep within Mkæniszna proper and occurred at 1:00 A.M. and lasted a total of two hours, the longest sustained direct attack during the operation. The logistic base was small, and due to the on-going attack was understaffed as soldiers was called to reinforce the outposts at the borders. The base was raided and destroyed, being the main contributor of the death count of the night. Small arms and explosives was stolen from the base, while other equipment such as vehicles was rendered inoperable or destroyed. The structures of the base itself was burned down, the fires starting from the outside of the buildings and after investigation by the [[East Atlalandr|East Atlalandian]] government it is believed no one besides military personals entered into the complexes.
