Operation Loanshark: Situation unclear

The situation is unclear in Operation Loanshark.

Allied forces continue to advance at the northeast end of the front, but are facing heavier ground resistance, and Japanese counterattacks have pushed the central prong of the attack back several miles.

Meanwhile, Beanstopia’s bombers have largely crushed enemy air defenses in Korea, but a dozen have been shot down and 5 damaged. The situation is continuing to evolve.

Lastly, a BQ-03 kamikaze drone was shot down over Smolensk last night. Beanstopia has confirmed it was fired by Beanstopian military units, but that the attack was not officially authorized. Beanstopia has not stated where the drone was launched from. 3 people were injured by broken glass when the damaged drone exploded outside an office building.
