Shocking scenes have emerged from Highgate V that show armed zealots storming the Demarr Green Zone compound in the city of Blackheath today. Armed intruders attacked and overcame the local mercenary security forces at the compound gate and proceeded to storm the facilities looting and murdering for almost three hours before order was restored by Accord backed Highgate army forces. It is believed that the incident has left almost 200 dead and many more wounded overwhelming much of the local medical infrastructure.
The sight of Demarr equipment and personnel under threat within their own designated “Green Zone” has raised serious questions about the Demarr presence on Highgate V and their ability to defend their interests there. A Demarr representative had this to say: “We condemn this act of terrorism in the strongest possible terms and we will be taking steps to ensure the safety of our personnel which is our utmost priority. Actions like this do nothing to reduce the commitment we have to peace and security.”
This escalation of the violence on Highgate V is widely seen as a consequences of the Mavri taking a much more interventionist policy to the ongoing conflict deploying military advisers and supplying arms to the conflict. Many experts fear that this may only result in tit for tat attacks in the future and an escalation of the violence.
