The tempo of combat operations continued at an increased pace.

Chernarus Defense Forces, Air Forces and Naval Forces have engaged in eight separate operations against rebel forces in three regions.

1) A task group of 4th Bn, Chernarus 10th Separate Tank Brigade was assigned the task of ejecting rebel forces from the town of Klein Pritzier in Rosche Friday night, and eliminating two rebel operatives who had been overseeing the looting of residences and businesses, and kidnapping and torturing potential resistance fighters in the area.

The attack failed when the task force commander was killed.  The operation was abandoned.

2) A detachment from 1st Bn Chernarus 17th Separate Light Rifle Brigade launched an attack in west Khuzhadon in Beketov Friday night.

Two rebel operatives, Ivan Platanov and Roza Vyalitsyna led a rebel light infantry/motorized group to the area to conduct assassinations and execution of local officials.

The mission was successful, and the casualties were moderate. Command squad lost one, while the other rifle rifle squads lost five each. A BRDM scout car was destroyed by an enemy recoilles rifles technical.

Command was unable to locate Vyalitsina and the documents she has been known to carry.  The three supplty trucks were destroyed by artillery fire.

Rebel forces by our own forces account, lost no less than four technicals.

The detachment retreated from town successfully.

3) On Monday a task force from 4th Bn Chernarus 4th Separate Tank Brigade launched an attack on Wellendorf after a rebel armed formation, led by Alexei Yakolev and Margarita Tikhonova, captured the town.

While occupying the town, rebel forces kidnapped some individuals and  robbed some local residences.

CDF forces located and eliminated both operatives, seizing some documents carried by Tikhonova.

Casualties were light with command squad losing one, and 2nd and 3rd squads losing three each. Friendly force retreated from town in good order.

Documents seized are that rebel will attempt another attack in northern Rosche soon. The rebel take over was the first step in that operation.

The team was attempting to eliminate rebel artillery when they were caught by an ambush.

5) Chernarus 10th Separate Tank Brigade command issued a warning order to a 4th Bn task group that a large rebel armored formation would attempt to take Hanstedt in Rosche by storm.

The CDF group managed to arrive at the area of operation before rebel forces arrived. The rebel force smashed into CDF forces early Monday morning. 

Losses for the task group were heavy. Two tanks were destroyed, along with a BRDM scout car. 2nd Squad's BTR was destroyed by an RPG shot losing four. 3rd squad lost eight. Command squad lost one. One SU-25 ground interdiction fighter was shot down.

The commander's sircraft was damaged by ground fire, but both pilots returned to base safely.

7) Early Wednesday morning, an element of 3rd Bn, Chernarus 2nd Naval Infantry Brigade launched an airmobile raid inside rebel territory at a poorly defended airfield. Naval Intelligence had received reports that rebel operatives were holding six civilian prisoners they were readying to transport into Russia.

The raiding party eliminated nearly every shooter, downloaded critical computer data and seized telecommunications codebooks.  The raiding party also destroyed an aircraft that was intended to be used to transport the prisoners. Three supply trucks also were destroyed.

The operatives, Emmanuel Jovan and Maja Dimitrovska, had an extensive criminal background, and were responsible for a number of executions of Chernarus civilians. Jovan reportedly also was the rebel's top illegal drug maker.

The team entered Krasnostav with the assistance of a Chernarus Defense Forces MI-24 attack helicopter, and eliminated both operatives as well as a number of vehicles and shooters. The team commander seized some valuable intelligence documents off the person of Dimitrovska.

The team escaped into the night without casualties and, avoiding enemy foot patrols, returned to their vessel safely.
