March 12, 2058 YTE
After increasing alarm due to a rural country commiting a terrorist attack on Jochaena. Another rural country had decided to "stabilize the region and end this campaign of terror". Jochaena then got tons of backlash, even from its rural allies.

Prillovanian president declared that the country should remain neutral, but that it's viewing this with concern.

During the same day, the president also made a statement saying that "Catruosia's behavior is delicate, and Jochaena is deeply ignoring its requests while is trying to resolve the conflict between the rural countries". In other words, Jochaena was trying to convince Catruosia of freeing the hostages who were forced to join the military, but their requests basically go ignored.

The Jochaenan Ministry of Defence asked air traffic control units of Pelermo and other cities to stop flights, and the airspace over Jochaena was almost entirely restricted to non-civilian air traffic, and the whole area was deemed an active conflict zone by the Limmo-Neapolian Aviation Safety Agency.

Following weeks of increasing tension between Jochaena and Catruosia, starting from 4:45 AM, explosions were reported in Pelermo, Manguaria, Oliville, and other cities. At 5:20 AM, the Jochaenan military intercepted a Catruosian plane in Pelermo using surface-to-air missiles, causing it to fall down on an apartment building at setting it on fire. At 7:00 AM, Jochaenan and other TV channels across Yenaulia were hijacked several times by Catruosia, declaring itself an "empire". After this, Prillovania, Vladiland, the Hot Dog Empire, Sineoria, Pleania, Clawmia, several rural countries, and Etrait issue an ultimatum to Catruosia demanding to end the aggression. Their requests basically go ignored, and as such, they declare war on Catruosia.

At 11:00 AM. Jochaenan border guards reported a border breach in Galapoi, and border guards in Kala were bombarded by Aclian rocket launchers. At the same time, Jochaena bombed border checkpoints at its border with Iuclistan to prevent an aggression, as it has now gone to war with all YCA member states.

During the night, president Demetrio Campitelli released a video alongside top government officials, as Catruosian and Aclian forces threatened the capital, Pelermo. He stated that the country will always defend its rights of dignity and that the people are brave and will fight the enemy until the last minute.

Jochaena distributed 20000 guns to Pelermo residents who expressed a willingness to fight and deployed the Defence Forces, the reserves of the Jochaenan military, to defend the nation.
