"This is Renee Syhan, reporting live from New Delhi to bring you amazing news! Just hours ago, soldiers from nine different nations have struck the first blow against the enemy that declared war against our world, the Saderan Empire. The military operation was the culmination of months of preparation from every member of the United Nations. Military commanders have reported they now have complete control over the other side of Alpha Point. In a battle that lasted less than half an hour, the remnants of the army that invaded Iceland back in December, have been completely destroyed. It's been reported that of the 55,000 Saderans that awaited our soldiers on the other side, less than 6,000 have been taken prisoner. However this victory did not come without loss of life on our own side. Nearly 200 lives were lost, with nearly that same number being injured. But not all is death and destruction. In the campsite of the enemy, 57 individuals who were reported missing during the Battle of Iceland have been rescued."
"But this is only the beginning. As I bring this to you, tens of thousands of more soldiers and equipment continuously pour through Alpha Point, bringing with them the supplies and tools required to build a base on the other side. From there, the hundreds of thousands of men still waiting in Iceland can finally begin their mission. A mission to not only rescue those stolen from our world, but to defeat the enemy that dragged our world into this new war. But despite our victory against our enemy on land, what directly lays beyond Bravo Point, in Faxa Bay. Even now, military planners are still figuring out the best course of action for entering unknown seas. Naval commanders have suggested the use of underwater drones to scout the area for possible dangers for ships that will eventually cross the other side. But until that day arrives, all military operations undertaken will be based from Alpha Point."
"On top of the combat engineering units that have been crossing over almost nonstop since the battle had ended, additional combat units from Norway, Sweden, Spain, Japan, Korea, and Morocco have arrived to help secure the immediate region around Alpha Point. Even nations like the South African Republics, Kurdistan, and the Aymara Republic of Bolivia, have pledged support in this endeavor. Despite this however, thousands of protesters clamored around the streets of Geneva, Switzerland today, once again decrying the war effort as an unjustified imperialistic action. Hundreds were arrested as riot police worked hard to restore order to city streets."
"In other news, the massive build up of military personnel and equipment in Iceland, has led to massive improvements in the infrastructure across the tiny island nation. It's also led to a massive influx of currency from the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and international Red Cross members stationed there. This has come to great economic benefit for the people of Iceland, as tourism is not only at all time low, but a multitude of local business were shut down after the attack in December. In international news, due to recent events in South Africa, as well as scattered reports in rural regions regarding strange cloaked figures being seen in forested areas, all reservists are hereby required to carry their service weapons with them at all times until further notice. Active duty personnel will continue guarding key pieces of infrastructure across the globe, until the threat of further attacks has ceased."
