The 2020 Olivar Street Bombing was a terrorist attack that occured in the high-end Kingston Neighborhood of Tofino, Zian, Zamastan on Sunday, October 4th, 2020. The bombing was committed by the Jaginistan-based terror group Al-Fijar and the bomber, Isaam al-Koroma, had originally intended to detonate the bomb in front of Congressional Hall. However, due to heavy traffic, weather, a car accident, and an altercation with a bystander, al-Koroma decided to detonate the bombing much earlier and farther from the Congressional Hall Capitol Building than intended. The bombing occured in a narrow intersection and outlet area which contained a shopping center, several restaurants, and dining establishments, which meant that at the time of the bombing the area was packed with people due to the coincidental reopening of a popular coffee shop. 14 people, including al-Koroma, were killed in the bombing, and the surrounding buildings sustained heavy damage and partial collapses. More than 530 people, among whom included future ZIS director Adrien Sardou, were injured in the attack.

The bombing came less than a week after the Zamastanian Intelligence Service killed Mukhtar Babu Ubair, and an interrogation of al-Koroma's 15-year-old brother Izzat revealed that Isaam's motive was retaliation for Babu Ubair's killing. The attack also came three days following the VMS Confianca Bombing in Davenport, Navocalco, Vitosium, and three weeks after the bombing of Air Andaluni Flight 553, which prompted President Atticus Moreau to issue sweeping travel warnings for Zamastanian citizens and called for W.E.D.A. nations to boost security and for the Coalition of Crown Albatross to internationally designate al-Fijar as a terror group.
