Decline in Combat on Ekbu VIII

Hostilites on Ekbu VIII have come to a decline as of 06/06/2013 at 12:55. The conflict has already claimed at least 861 lives and seen the loss of 11 units and facilities.

Battle began 06/06/2013 at 12:53 when battle elements of Shinsharogi engaged the forces of NeoCat. 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 7 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
