Zagoria Rebel Radio claimed that an undisclosed number of civilians were killed in Chernarusian artillery shelling in the town of Krasnostav Saturday evening.

According to the report the artillery attack was an "unprovoked as a terror attack against peaceful residents of Krasnostav."

Amphibious raids by Chernarusian naval infantry forces have been common in South Zagoria since last winter. Although the Chernarusian Defense Ministry will not talk about operations in South Zagoria, it has been confirmed through unofficial sources within the Chernarus Naval Forces staff, that Chernarusian naval infantry did conduct an operation Saturday evening near Krasnostav, and that artillery was involved.

The sources also said that the Chernarusian unit involved did not suffer casualties, and that no civilians were either killed or wounded in Saturday's operation.  No rebel casualty counts were claimed by the Chernarusians, but they were said to be light.

Rebel materiel damage was said to be heavy.
