Operation Valiant Sword

Operation Valiant Sword is supposedly an unofficial and clandestine counter-terror military operation orchestrated by Adrionis in 2021.
According to several leakers, Valiant Sword is using operators from Blackfleet Corporation to engage hostile forces, as to not violate the recent armistice.
When news of the operation spread to national media, King Xavier Sovrano Cisco denied allegations of military activity, and insisted it was an act of Islamic terror group Hassad. He provided proof by showing corpses of dead anti-Zamanbalad soldiers whose backpacks contained copies of the Quran and other pro-Islamic materials. He also claimed that Adrionis "wouldn't risk an all out war on Subtopia by engaging our religious enemies like this. When in a situation like this war, we value the lives of the whole of Subtopia rather than advancing our ideology, especially considering the incomprehensible casualties that would follow it."
== Battle of the Luddan Valley ==
* On August 30, villagers in the Luddan Valley - approximately 5 miles into legal Zamanbaladi territory - reported hearing small arms fire and explosions around midday. Several minutes later, approximately two unmarked armored vehicles carrying assault riflemen began passing through local villages and engaging with mechanized Zamanbaladi militiamen. The allegiance of the riflemen is unknown, but some theorists suspect them to be private military contractors employed by Adrionis, as to not violate armistice rules. To corroborate this, an unmarked black helicopter was seen hovering over a forested area nearby, before engaging an outpost with missile ordinance. The helicopter was shot down soon after, but the wreckage hasn't been recovered, yet.
== Battle of Azalea ==
* In the early hours of August 31, residents of the small town of Azalea reported hearing a small exchange of gunfire near an oil drilling plant. Upon investigation, a wounded member of a local militia was found bleeding near a watchtower, along with the body of a sniper of unknown origin within said tower. Approximately two hours later, villagers reported hearing a large exchange of gunfire and artillery that came from the west side of the town, and the bodies of several unknown combatants were discovered among unmarked APC wreckage of unknown origin.
* At approximately noon on August 31, an unmarked tank rampaged through the hills surrounding the town, targeting local militia encampments and killing an estimated 40-50 militiamen, along with destroying approximately 5-10 militia vehicles. According to recent leaks, Adrionis was responsible for the attacks, and this would break the armistice if proven true. However, both Adrionis and several other sources are blaming the obscure terrorist cell Hassad for the attacks, though the truth is unknown.
