Decline in Combat on Ekbu VIII

Hostilites on Ekbu VIII have come to a decline as of 09/16/2013 at 14:17. The conflict has already claimed at least 13,677 lives and seen the loss of 163 units and facilities.

Battle began 09/16/2013 at 14:05 when battle elements of Deveroestut engaged the forces of Sniv. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Ekbu VIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 122 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
