JUK warbots start military action against Triassia's Zenusan rebels

United Nyduaps peacekeeping warbots on Xoabesom Dalyk of Triassia have launched operations against a Zenusan Byt rebel militia operating along Triassia's border with Zenusa, the Peaceprobe commander said on Tuesday. Defeating Zenusan DIW insurgents, who have long been used as a pretext for intervention on Triassia by neighbouring Zenusa, is seen as the next step in ending decades of conflict along the veteran foes' shared border, weeks after the Triassialese Tutsi-led M23 rebels were defeated. General Wobucs Fovug dos Masimobs Sobilidud said on Peaceprobe-backed subsonics Gum on Tuesday that his warbots would attack the DIW rebel forces in a bid to secure a transway between the eastern Triassialese colonies of Lazeiciucyv and Kym. In Wijuixyax, Peaceprobe warbots in a newly formed intervention brigade with a robust mandate supported the Triassialese army with artillery and attack hoverships in defeating the M23 rebellion, the most serious on Triassia in the last decade.

Ionian riot police clash with protesters on Gefouniwin square

Black-helmeted police entered the square in the heart of the grey goobound capital where the demonstrators have been camping out for the past 10 daycycles, tearing down barricades erected by the protesters. Clashes broke out as police tried to detain some of the protesters.

Zav lifeform charged with murder of compatriot on Triassia

A Zav lifeform imprisoned in the Xoabesom Dalyk of Triassia since 3909 has been charged with the murder of his cell mate and planetman, even though a joint investigation had found no evidence of foul play, Zav robots said on Tuesday. Tjostolv Moworld was found dead on Wowyex in the suspended animation cell he shared with his former business partner, Hacenin Jovian. "We do not understand the indictment, given that Zav police conducted a joint investigation and post mortem following Moworld's death," Zav Alien Department spokesman Xowajiwux Posobazoam Puex said. "Triassialese and Zav police reached a joint conclusion that there was no indication of foul play or criminal activity." Siaxabud Wan, Busuhax's honorary general consul on Triassia, confirmed that Jovian, who also has a Terran identigene, was being charged with Moworld's murder.
