Welcome to The Krakabloan Democrat, the Supreme Minister's state owned newspaper.

View from the the Hackdog Bridge, which already sustained heavy damage
Today at 2:24pm earlier afternoon the tarmac at Yeager Airport has been on fire with 14 aircraft parked when a truck exploded. It happened when a military truck arrived from Bandit airport to bring cargo of military food rations back to the airport.After it's occupants went off the truck, the truck suddenly exploded, generating a fire that destroyed the 2 hangars, control tower and 14 fighter jets and 3 civilian J30-200s of AeroKrak. Also, the explosion was so large that it generated a 10-mile shockwave, shattering the glass of an inbound AN-26, causing the pilots to lose control and crash on the runway, killing 5 occupants. Also the shockwave pushed an civilian RJ-10-100p during its takeoff roll, causing the landing gear to collapse and propellers to break down. 2 passengers were injured. The shockwave spread to nearby Military Aviation Complex area, injuring 100 inhabitants, shattering windows of every home, destroying 86 cars and killing 14. The nearby Hackdog Bridge sustained heavy damage, it was on the verge of collapsing. 3 minutes after the incident struck, emergency services arrived on site and 2 hours later, the fire was put off. Flights to or from Yeager were cancelled, many diverted to Bandit Airport but only flights operated by jetliner's were cancelled because the Bandit airport only serves propeller aircraft and jet aircraft with short landing capabilities due to the runway length and not being paved. The estimated cost of damage is KRK 700,000 or $10,000,000, including KRK30,000 worth of boxes with military food, which was damaged and burned during the blast and was meant to be distributed to personnel stationed at the mixed military-civilian use airport.

Meanwhile, the Krakabloan Democratic Armed Defence Force's and the police conducted an early investigation 5 minutes after the fire was under control, and at the blast site they found some colored wires and a shattered cellphone. So it was presumed an IED or improvised explosive device explosion, and it was unnoticed by the gate personnel and soldiers at the airport shortly before the blast.

The Supreme Minister held a conference, and he said that it was a terrorist attack. He said, " They didn't know that the IED was stuffed on one of the boxes of military food and the gate personnel didn't inspect the cargo or frisking the occupants of possible illegal items. The perpetrator might be from the alleged terrorist group allegedly responsible for the nuclear incident at Republic of Stuntpark." He also quoted it was a deadly negligence. He planned to fly to Yeager Airport for inspection, since he already recovered from his injuries sustained from a presidential plane crash. General 2ltofWWII said that of the 17 aircraft damaged, one of the brand new E250s are in one of them. It was a process of from delivery to scrapyard in just a few days, he said. He called for the cleanup and restoration ops of the airport, and buying new airport equipment. He also considered to pay million for the residents of the Military Aviation Complex to repair their homes and cars. The airport restoration ops are estimated to cost 100,000,000 Kraks or $1 billion. The general will remove from service gate personnel involved in the negligence that caused the incident and the Council of Sovereignty to pass a law concerning illegal items being brought into airports and other transportation hubs like bus stations and ferry station's. In the incident, 35 personnel and 14 nearby civilian's died and 202 injured.

Heil Hackdog!
