After receiving no response from Folland, Insulo has decided to go ahead with it's plan anyway. Part of the Insulonian Southern Fleet, coming from the west where it had previously been sent during the Eastern Althenan communist uprisings, has begun engaging the navy of Marqualis off the coast of Folland, beginning with a surprise submarine and air attack. A smaller group of ships has been sent north to conduct cruise missile strikes against Marqualis.
