More War ensues [DOW] | TPE

 The Casus Belli: Iberia has violated the Treaty of FIorence and Treaty of Sentoran on three occasions: in its deal with the Soviets to annex Western Sahara, its originally illegal occupation of Morocco, and now, helping the French bourbon puppet put down a rebellion in Vietnam, whilst also placing Iberian officials in the colony to further Iberian colonial interests. Additionally, The Iberians have unapologetically expressed their plans to continue imperialist ambitions in the Americas and Africa. Finally, Iberian collaboration with the Soviets in their attacks on the APSA are an unacceptable act of war.

The following states have been declared to be at war with the Graveyard Fleet: Iberia, France, The Soviet Federation

This has been supported by the states of la Plata, the NBF, New Olsztyn, Mexico, and Italy, with support from the Orchid PMC.

      Freedom to Africa, Freedom to Vietnam, Freedom to Venezuela, Freedom from Europe!

      Douala, liberated Cameroon SPT - Soviet positions in the jungles of Cameroon have been unidentified for months, until now. Reconnaissance jets, and most helpfully, local liberation organizations have proved fruitful with their leaking of soviet military locations across West Africa. This has been most helpful in identifying Soviet airstrips and bases, though more mobile groups such as anti aircraft or other systems have been harder to trace. Still, this intelligence breakthrough has allowed the Graveyard Fleet to coordinate a more effective offensive on the Soviet Federation in Cameroon. Soviet air capabilities in the region have been disabled almost entirely, with the exception of anti air systems; The GF claimed it lost 15 fighter aircraft, whilst claiming to have destroyed 140 Soviet jets during the duration of the entire war. According to the GF, most of these soviet jet losses were transport or troop aircraft, but significant amounts of fighter jets were also destroyed. 

     Finally, reports from local media and soviet intelligence reports in Cameroon suggest that a rising number of freedom fighters have attacked Soviet outposts and capabilities in Cameroon. The Soviets have taken advantage of the awful road conditions and rainforest which have prevented a more swift advance from Coalition forces. However, the structure of the Soviet army and lack of air support, as well as increasing Coalition support amongst natives has forced the Soviet Federation's army into a defensive position.

      The GF claims it has lost 1,763 contractors and 1,885 FR soldiers in West Africa, whilst claiming that la Plata and New Olsztyn forces suffered casualties at 200 and 600 respectively. The GF claims that the SF has lost ~5,500 soldiers in Cameroon, but these numbers are unconfirmed.

      Ceuta, Iberian Union - Ceuta has been occupied by APSA forces totaling 35 thousand soldiers, consisting of soldiers from Italy and the Graveyard Fleet. Ceuta swiftly fell after the APSA operated base lobbed missiles at Iberian military positions across the island and territory. Bombings of the Soviet military and now the Iberian military in Western Sahara and Morocco have resumed, with several outposts and assets of both nation's being hit in initial bombing raids. It is important to note, coalition landings are only just beginning, and have not reached full operating force. lastly, New Olsztyn and Graveyard Fleet destroyers and cruisers have conducted routine attacks on Iberian and Soviet assets in the region, starving their troops of essential supplies and weakening the force of the occupation. 

      Mexico also provided 600 Volunteer soldiers and several reconnaissance detachments to aid the ongoing war effort. 

      Madrid, Iberian Union - local unconfirmed reports of ongoing bombing raids and aerial attacks from the West, South, and East - across Spain.

      Atlantic - The Graveyard Fleet confirmed it was going to respond to an attack on its small naval fleet in the North Sea dedicated to protecting Surriland, promising to use its laser submarines in retaliation. 

      New Olsztyn - Prime minster Gargoza is confirmed to be in critical condition in a New Olsztyn Hospital at this time.
