Casualties and losses
  • 21 killed
  • 65 injured

On July 15th, a Zalluabedi fighter jet patrolling the Emmiria Sea east of Zalluabed accidentally fired on a Zamastanian naval vessel, the ZMS Monserrati, killing 21 sailors and injuring 65 more. The incident occured during the height of the Hisrea War, and WEDA naval patrols near the Tarijar Strait had increased to monitor the military movements of TTPA member states involved in the conflict. The aircraft's pilot, flying alongside another jet, misunderstood an order from the Royal Zalluabed Air Force headquarters in Tuim in which the flight commander instructed the aircraft to "intercept" the Monserrati, and the pilot interpreted the order as clearance to attack. The incident drew heavy scrutiny from the international community towards Zalluabedi president Zayyaan al-Akhtar and deputy-defense minister Saahir Salim, and hurried along the peace process of the Osea Accords to end the Hisrea War.
