International Reaction

Dakaton Nationalist outpost ruins. Suspected of containing a weapons cache, it was bombed. None of the suspected weapons were found and 5 bodies were recovered, 2 of them unarmed women.

Civilian Deaths

The Midwest Union was accused of indiscriminately bombing both rural and urban housing without proper screening for non-combatants.

Justification

Multiple Warsaw Pact members have offered justification for both the Dakotan Theatre and civilian deaths, arguing for a greater good. Leaked Soviet documents presented up at the 2005 American Convention implied that the Pact member nation regiments deployed in Dakota were employing the operations as training for a larger invasion of American nation-states and Indo-European countries.
