Post by Shadow » Mon Aug 12, 2019 2:57 am

M-10 Mine Games 2 is to be RE-TASKED. The mine layers are still active and restricting ship movement through the Strait of Hormuz.
Central Command has labeled the situation "INTOLERABLE" and rumors are circulating about reassigning fighter squadrons.
Also a Russian Aeroflot Antonov An-26B passenger aircraft was lost in the vicinity of the ops area. It was reportedly carrying medical staff and sick children to a Medical Center in the UAE. Including the 5 crewmen, 31 people are reportedly missing.
