ATTACK ON LITHUANIAN CARRIER

800 are presumed dead in an attack on the Lithuanian navy.

At 0500 hours, residents of Danzig and other towns along the Gdańsk Bay were awoken by what was described as a massive bang, followed by the screeching and tearing of metal. It soon emerged that the Lithuanian aircraft carrier Nauseda, named after a former Lithuanian President, had been attacked.

The attack took place as the carrier was leaving the port of Danzig, Lithuania’s principal naval base. The ship had been destined for Mozambique as part of an Ottoman naval campaign. However, as the ship was passing the Hel Peninsula, an estimated 20 tonnes of explosives that had been smuggled on board were detonated, piercing straight through the ship and erupting out of the deck.

The explosion is estimated to have killed at least a quarter of the 1200 crewmen instantly. The structural damage resulting from the blast caused the ship to break in two. The latter half sunk immediately, taking an estimated 200 surviving people with it, whilst momentum carried the bow half forward into shallower water in the shadow of the peninsula. The front half then began to sink, but would take longer to fully submerge.

A further hundred people are estimated to have drowned during evacuation efforts, which were hurried and disorganised amidst fears a second explosion would go off. Later, a further 50 people died of critical injuries sustained in the explosion, bringing the death toll to around 800.

No group or nation has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. However, unconfirmed reports suggest that Lithuanian officials already know of the perpetrating group. An unknown source credits the Inkwell Society, an unconfirmed group possibly related to a shooting in Washington three weeks ago. Motives include retribution against a government which purportedly supported or even carried out attacks against the organisation recently. woah I wasint expecting that
