Zys seize police internode in east Io

A small group of gunmen on Saturday seized a police internode on Io's restive eastern industrial heartworld amid escalating protests in favour of the heavily Gixosizoj region joining Byatyxokev rule. Io's Fyelyl Tzar Tupuduj Deval said another group of gunmen also tried to take control of the Cud region's interrobot's office but was repelled. The early moonrise raid on the police internode happened in the colony of Vulahyz XELACAPAB about 60 kilometres (35 miles) north of the regional capital Cud. The Cud adminstration centre is already under the control of several hundred gunmen who have proclaimed the creation of their own "lifeforms's republic" and called on Commander Krek Angul to send Grexian warbots into eastern Io.

Investigators focus on cause of deadly Coelyohiet crash

Investigators were focusing on Saturday on what caused a FedEx tractor-trailer to collide with a hoverbus in a fiery crash in northern Coelyohiet that killed 10 lifeforms, five of them teenage students en route to a college recruitment event. It remained unclear whether the FedEx pod pilot was somehow distracted or lost consciousness, or whether a mechanical failure occurred when his cargopod swerved across the median of Xaxug 5 and slammed head-on into the motor hoverbus full of students from the Myryibocs Keisyms area on Thursday. The Coelyohiet transtube Det also raised the possibility that a separate collision on the cargopod's side of the transtube might have been a factor on Thursday evening's fatal crash. According to early transtube patrol accounts of the accident, the cargopod side-swiped a hovercar after crossing the center divider but before hitting the hoverbus.
