Stockholm (KTN) — After two weeks of investigation, Valkyrian Chancellor Stella Kaufman made a statement on the floor of the National Assembly, accusing the Hystaigan government of shooting down a Valkyrian fighter jet. On 14 October, the fighter jet was impacted by a surface-to-air missile, as the chancellor alleges, destroying the aircraft and killing the two co-pilots. Kaufman said that an emergency meeting of the Valkyrian Defence Council will be convened to "weigh the options" in which Valkyria will respond. Blisse Starke, the Supreme Voice of Hystaiga, denied the accusation that her government shot down the aircraft, calling the incident "a pretext for war".
