Operation Afton is the codename for an international military operation in Zalluabed's separatist Qahazar region which began on November 30th, 2023, following a series of drone attacks across the Tarijar Strait and Saint Raneau by the Kubani Unit, led by Suhaib el-Dar Moussa. It is named for the Offeatean word meaning "evening". The mission authorized member states to establish and enforce a no-fly zone over the People's Republic of Qahaza, and to use "all necessary measures" to prevent attacks on civilians, which turned into a bombing campaign by the forces of WEDA and ANS against Kubani Unit military installations and vehicles. The coalition's objectives did not include aiding the rebel forces' efforts to take control of territory held by the government or PRQ.

On 30 November 2023, several countries prepared to take immediate military action at a summit in Viitaniemi, and. operations commenced on the same day with a strike by Emmirian, Albarinean, and Normarkian fighter jets, then Zamastanian and Quetanan forces conducting strikes from ships and submarines via cruise missiles and air assets bombing Moussa's forces near Kubani, Tuim, and Toutmoul.
