The Hindopian Military has captured the Borucish capital city of Gardinia after a brief skirmish in the late hours of last night.
The first phase of the invasion, codenamed Project Lantern, was completed with no losses for Hindopia and losses of up to 30 enemy combatants according to sources within Military Command. Martial law has been declared and a curfew is in effect for the entire population of Gardinia.
Speaking with General Arnold Mills, commander of operation, it was revealed that the military does not intend to sit still.
"We still have much to do and we aren't the least bit interested in retreating now."
Experts are assuming that the military will turn it's attention to the provinces further inland within the week to prevent enemy forces from strengthening their positions.
Hindopia is still reeling from the surprise declaration of war by President Lyons on Monday. Several Senators have vehemently expressed their opposition to the action, calling it a "complete usurpation of the sovereign power of the Senate" in a joint statement yesterday. Senator Chase Dylans, the most vocal of those same Senators, has even hinted that he might bring a censure motion against the President.

The High Council has yet to issue a statement with regard to their opinion on the issue. In the weeks following the missile landing and killing a citizen in Chardinhall, Lyons moved to have a complete embargo enacted against Borucistan. The Council rejected this idea based on the assumption that it could lead to war between the two countries. Without the Council's approval, Lyons dropped the measure and instead sent the doomed diplomatic mission to Borucistan.
It remains to be seen what the longlasting repercussions of the war will be.
