2022 Hacyinia-Lavana war
The 2022 Hacyinia-Lavana standoff is an military standoff between Hacyinia and Lavana that has resulted in the massing of troops on both sides of the border, along with increased activity in the breakaway state of Yoloten where most fighting has concentrated. This is the first major military standoff between Hacyinia and Lavana following the successful establishment of the 2004 Yoloten Ceasefire agreement.
The military buildup was initiated by Lavana responding to the Mei Phong Mall car bomb attack, on October 1st, 2022.[1](during which 26 people were killed, and 33 were wounded), along with shelling in the breakaway republic of the Yoloten, by Pro-Hacyinian militias. Lavana claimed that Hacyinia had violated the 2004 agreement by failing to properly deal with militias in the demilitarized zone separating the Hacyinian army and the Provisional Administrative and Military Front of the Yoloten (PAMFY), which had launched the attacks. [2] The Yoloten Loyalist Federation (YLF) claimed responsibility on the day of the bombing for the attacks, leading to major Lavanan security operations to catch the perpetrators, and prevent further attacks. Following numerous claims of further attacks.
On October 3rd, Lavana launched airstrikes in the DMZ with the knowledge of Hacyinia[3], prompting condemnation.[4] The attacks quickly made Hacyinian Khan Makbule Arda, to enter into closer relations with Zorasan, obtaining diplomatic support, along with military equipment. [5][6] Although initially unmoved by such diplomatic moves [7], a rapid timeline in the deployment of Zorasani equipment and sudden Zorasani military movements, prompted Lavana and the PAMFY to step down. [8] Following major ballistic attacks by Hacyinia on the PAMFY in the 8th, in retaliation for shelling. [9] [10] Zorasan and Hacyinia conducted military training during the next 3 days from the 11th to the 14th of October. [11]
Both countries remain in high alert, and military buildup in the Hacyinian-Lavanan border continues, along with the Yoloten DMZ.[12]
