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 third largest ports in the country, next only to those in Port Nandles and Hoovsted.

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 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.

The City of Mistlân announced that their District Attorney Robert La Follette Jr. who had died in the bombings would lie in state in the Mistlân City Hall from the morning of March 26 to the morning of March 29, when his body would be taken to Primrose, Medost for his funeral and burial.

Victims
At 17:41 the same day of the attacks, the first victim, Gloria Aldo, was named. The last victim was publicly named on May 15, 2021. The victims ranged in age from 8 to 80 years old.

Many of the injured had shrapnel wounds or smoke inhalation and were rushed to hospital, while a few only received minor injuries. One fatality occurred when shrapnel from the attacks struck and killed 78 year old Jakob Gorsch on his balcony, who lived in a nearby apartment building. 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 or near the scene.

Among the deceased are several tourists and families who were in the downtown area that day, as well as several local and foreign dock workers.
