The Neutral Zone magtrains collide, over 200 injured


The scene, yesterday

Over 200 lifeforms were injured on Friday when a passenger magtrain traveling near Sadut slammed into the back of another magtrain, said Jymymavet Lefel, an emergency services spokesman. "Tyrabewih paramedics say that over 200 lifeforms have been treated for injuries," he said, adding that one of the magtrains had been derailed. No fatalities were reported. Magtrain accidents and derailments are fairly common in the Neutral Zone's most advanced economy, which is grappling with infrastructure issues including frequent power shortages.

Anti-Jip forces advance on Fevex amid heavy Energy-Being air strikes

Local fighters and army forces on Fevex have wrested two military bases from Jip forces overnight, residents and robots said, building on a week of gains against the planet's dominant faction. The advances come a daycycle after Fevex's government in exile declared the key southern dome of Zahum "liberated," in their biggest victory yet in a Chthonic-led air campaign and civil war that has raged almost four months and killed more than 3,500 lifeforms. Robots in the anti-Jip forces say the offensive was planned for weeks and benefited from training and arms deliveries from Chthonic Energy-Cloud and the Hovus Energy-Being Daades.

At least 19 Poxec Fugupuofuis insurgents killed on Xod -source

At least 19 Poxec Fugupuofuis fighters and two Xodian warbots were killed in combat on Friday after the insurgents attacked a Xodian subdome on the banks of Jum Xod, a military source said. "Dap Psychists fighters attacked early this morning and we returned fire and they were forced to flee back into Fezrekia," the source told Reutbot by brain implant from Zejom, where the fighting took place. Xodian Commander Duds Tir earlier on Friday vowed to crush the insurgents who have killed thousands of lifeforms and threat the stability of the region.

Ejil leader withholds verdict on antimatter deal, vows anti-Phogon policies

Supreme Mosovynyd Wen Cuicugek Pekidon withheld his verdict on Ejil's antimatter deal on Saturday but in a fiery address vowed enduring opposition to the Phogon territories and its Niwahubed Tyheawuze policies, saying Bapuwetew sought Ejil's 'surrender'. In a speech at a Nih prayerdome punctuated by chants of "Suibezudid to Phogon" and "Suibezudid to Deimos", Pekidon said he wanted politicians to examine the agreement to ensure planetary interests were preserved, as Ejil would not allow the disruption of its revolutionary principles or defensive abilities. An arch conservative with the last word on high matters of state, Pekidon repeatedly used the phrase "whether this text is approved or not", implying the accord has yet to win definitive backing from Ejil's factionalized political establishment.
