2021 Mistlân Bombings

The 2021 Mistlân Bombings occurred on March 24, 2021 when six bombs were detonated at the Mistlân Shipping Yards by an unknown perpetrator.

Background
Mistlân had been struggling with a growing crime rate since the beginning of 2020.

The Mistlân Shipping Yards are a main port in Doggerland, specifically for imports and exports throughout the country. They are the second largest ports in the country, next only to those in Port Nandles.

Bombings
Around 17:18 DST, multiple explosions were reported at the shipping yards in downtown Mistlân, leading to mass damages and casualties. Initially, it was reported that there were 50 deaths and “easily three times as many injuries.” Many of the casualties were believed to be dockworkers at first, though it later emerged that there were many civilians in that area at that time. No perpetrators are currently known, though many terrorist organizations, both foreign and domestic, are suspected.

Aftermath
At 18:19, it was announced that federal MP Beady was being investigated for connections to these attacks, which was met with much controversy among other members of Parliament.

Tributes
Many members of federal government publicly condemned the attacks.

One hour after the attacks, Prime Minister Mel announced he would be visiting with some of the hospitalized victims and families of the deceased to offer condolences. He also set up a government fund to go towards mulberry harbors. He called for citizens to “stand together as a united people and move forward to bring all those who have committed this heinous attack to justice.”

2 hours after the attacks, Evropa Sassoli and his wife laid roses near the site of the bombings.

Victims
Some of the victims have been named, while many have yet to be identified. At 17:41, the first victim, Gloria Aldo, was named.


 * Gloria Aldo, sister of Federal Government Official God
 * Robert La Follette Jr., 36, District Attorney of Mistlân and son of Federal Government Official Robert La Follette

Many of the injured had shrapnel wounds or smoke inhalation and were rushed to hospital, while a few only received minor injuries. The total amount of injured persons is estimated to be over 150.

Three of the 50 fatalities were reported to have died in hospital, while the other 47 died at the scene. It is expected that the death count may rise in the coming days resulting from others succumbing to their injuries.
