Current Situation
The President of Novihrastova, Lavrencij Krečič, was confirmed to have been exfiltrated covertly from the country by a Private Military Company (PMC) identified as Toska. As of eight hours ago, the German island of Rügen was confirmed to have sustained widespread attacks with Toska personnel securing pockets of the island. While no clear intents have been established, it is J-2's anticipation that they are using the attacks to open movement corridors to enable Krečič's exfiltration. German Bundeswehr have established security along coastal connections to Rügen however contact with assets trying to cross into Rügen via the bridge connection between Stralsund and Altefähr have been lost likely due to intense hostile defensive action by Toska, communications outbound before a loss of signal reported an inbound convoy to the bridge connection. Additionally, the car-ferry between Stahlbrode and Glewitz has been suspended following the German government declaring a state of emergency.
A presumed Toska-operated Naval Vessel within the Baltic Sea has also been noted to be actively outputting jamming signals, using Electronic Warfare (EW) to mask activity, large-scale loss of signal and electronic interference include Germany's Rügen, Denmark's Bornholm and Sweden's Ystad. This is being investigated by the Royal Navy to ascertain where the source of the signals are coming from. Prior to hostile actions in Rügen, confirmed OSINT and IMINT were received indicating Toska personnel making landfall via civilian vessels within the east of the island. This includes the likely manipulation of maritime port systems to covertly insert light-armour and mechanised assets into the island without flagging. UK Commando Forces (UKCF) tracking Lavrencij Krečič have been confirmed to be rotated into supporting the recapture of Rügen ontop of their priority objective.
Nearby British Army units supporting EXERCISE TRACJETORY 2025 are being rotated to support the overall effort. This includes 2nd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment and 12 Troop, Royal Tank Regiment. Supporting rotary and fixed wing assets are being deployed at the discretion of the Joint Aviation Command (JAC).
