A press release was issued by the Borucistinian Government this morning, responding to the missile incident that occurred in northern Nanganis two days ago. A test missile fired from Gardinia Air Force Base in Borucistan failed and spun out of control, landing in a deserted field 20km from the nearby town of Kaltar.
The media spokesperson told press representatives that it was not the intention of the military to put any lives at risk during these tests.
“The Borucistinian Military had no intention to place any person in danger by firing this missile. It was an unfortunate situation and the General in charge of the programme has given me the utmost assurance that steps have been taken to ensure that it does not happen again. We are greatly relieved to hear that no lives were lost as a result of the missile failing and are pursuing discussion with the Hindopian Government to relieve tensions in this time. We sincerely apologize for the distress this most certainly would have placed on the citizens and government of Hindopia.”
A spokesman for the Chancellors Office also released a statement accepting the apology of Borucistinian Government.
“The Chancellor has already been in contact with the President of Borucistan and the General overseeing the missile programme. He thanks them for their formal apology and the honour that they showed by doing so. The Chancellor has also made clear to the Borucistinian President that such missile tests must take into account that Hindopia is located close to Borucistan and as such these missiles can present a danger to Hindopians. He has asked that the Borucistinian Military give warning to the Hindopian Military at least a week before they perform a missile test.”
The missile was fired as part of an unnamed project. The details of the project are classified top secret but rumours abound that the Borucistan Military is testing a short range missile to eventually replace their very outdated CO-193 short range missile.
