Siege of Draconis

The Siege of Draconis is an ongoing event in and around the Adrionian capital of Draconis, near the southeastern quad-national border. Military forces from the Federation of Western Subtopia are attempting to blockade the area around Draconis. Military activity from the Federation of Western Subtopia also includes bombing Draconis via aircraft, as well as shelling Draconis with artillery. Although Western Subtopia is attempting to only target Adrionian military installations, heavy civilian casualties and other collateral damage is expected. Currently, the brunt of the fighting and unrest is in the Eastern District, which is one of the poorer districts of Draconis.
Many political analysts suggest this could be the start of a planned Western Subtopian invasion of Adrionis.
== Adrionian Response ==
Following the start of the siege, King Xavier Sovrano Cisco was evacuated to an unknown location. King's Hall was also evacuated. Civilians have begun to attack local police and other government authorities, and crime is increasing as police activity is dropping due to exhaustion.
Adrionian domestic military units are currently being deployed to Draconis, and rumors from the front lines suggest that dissident civilians are being targeted and killed, though this hasn't been confirmed yet.
There have been reports of clashes between pro-Adrionian and pro-Western Subtopian civilians, the latter being mostly comprised of Muslims who haven't yet fled to Zamanbalad. Warfare between gangs is also increasing.
== Crimes against humanity ==
Since the beginning of the invasion, numerous reports of Adrionian crimes against humanity have surfaced, mostly from the Eastern District. These reports indicate a secret systematic targeting of civilians by the quadfecta of primary active Adrionian forces in besieged Draconis - Civil Police, National Police, Kilamahali, and Domestic Military. Reported crimes include racial and religious beleaguerment, genocide of civilians, rape, forced feeding, and wartime extortion. Most of the reports point toward the newly created National Police, which is comprised of uneducated ex-convicts. Reports of forced disappearances of suspected Islamists were reportedly conducted by the Kilamahali, Adrionis' secret police force. The Domestic Military is supposedly responsible for summary executions of dissidents and Islamists. The heavily defunded Civil Police is supposedly responsible for extorting sex out of lower-class females in exchange for wartime rations.
