Nolvik's forces continue their "peacekeeping" operation in Akarus, entering the city of Vianden on the afternoom of August 30th. The occupation of Vianden leaves the road open to Andropen, with some fearing the capital may be occupied within days. With much of the Akarusian forces in the region in retreat, the Nolvish advance has seen relatively few casualties so far. Akarus is reportedly attempting to set up a defensive line south of Andropen.
In a speech yesterday, Prime Minister Altink called on the Akarusian people to stand together against the invasion, urging all sides in ongoing partisan conflict to stand down and fight for their homeland. He also called on the nations of world for aid, calling on them to "defending the flame of democracy against the encroaching darkness".
In a separate event later that day, Socialist Party leader Espen Vang issued a rallying cry to his supporters, calling on them to "take up arms against foreign oppressors, and fight for [their] freedom". He would also denounce the NRP, calling them "puppets of foreign tyrants".
The NRP now claims control in the areas under Nolvish control, though NRP militias remain active throughout the country. The NRP has declared Akarus to be an "illegitimate government, subverting the will of the people".
