The Kassar Crisis was a severe diplomatic incident between Soravia and Arthasthan in September 1980. It began after the alleged sexual assault and murder of a Arthani girl on the night of September 13 by Soravian sailors stationed at the Baisara Naval Base. Protests quickly began and demonstrators demanded the handover of the suspects to Arthani authorities which was denied. Protests grew increasingly violent and rioting began to target Sorvian civilians and buildings in Baisara. On the 19th of September, soldiers sent to protect a Sorvian offical's house opened fire on protestors, killing 17 people. Rioting dramatically escalated into large scale arson and looting of Sorvian owned buildings and attacks against those who appeared to be Sorvian . The rioting ended after the General Force and the Armed Force entered the city to restore order.
By the time the riot ended, 65 people had died, over two thousand were injured, and estimates of property damage were over $500 million.
