The Ryccian military has announced it will suspend all naval and aerial bombardments against the Valoran capital, Mirochi, which is held by the constitutionalists. Instead, the military says it will attack the surrounding territory, seeking to isolate it from the world. The constitutionalists have denounced this as "the beginning of a brutal, inhumane and cruel siege strategy", as the Ryccian Navy is now blockading the capital by sea and by land, refusing to allow any supplies through. The capital is still connected to the world via a constitutionalist land corridor running through the coast.
