The Ryccian-Autocrat offensive in Valora continues. Ryccian marines have landed near Slateport, an important industrial city in the country held by the constitutionalists. The Ryccian Navy is bombarding the city, with the military stressing that it is only seeking to strike "military targets". Constitutionalist officials in the city have confirmed that the Ryccian bombardment is not targeting civilians, but they accuse the autocrat-aligned Valoran Air Force of firebombing the outskirts of the city indiscriminately.
