The Kassar Crisis was a diplomatic incident between Soravia and Arthasthan, caused by the alleged sexual assault and murder of a Arthani girl 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, Sorvian soldiers sent to protect a Sorvian's offical house opened fire on protestors, killing 17 people. Rioting dramatically escalated into large scale but targeted arson and looting of Sorvian owned buildings. The rioting ended after the General Force and the Armed Force, entered the city to restore order.
The riot led to over 35 people dead, hundred injured, and estimates of property damage were over $500 million.
