Hanatuan, Lorna - (2ND UPDATE) Seven southern states mobilized their national guards and deployed them at their bayans, and barangays near the southern border after allegedly receiving orders from the Defense Commissariat. Most of the townspeople living in the affected bayans, and barangays were told to stock up supplies and remain inside their homes until further notice.

Before the mobilization of the national guard, several military vehicles were seen heading south at the bayan of Hanatuan just 24 kilometers off the southern border. Three armored columns passed followed by military helicopters and fighter aircraft in a tight formation. The townspeople were a bit surprised and scared to see a sheer number of military vehicles and aircraft with one of them saying, ".. as if it's the [Haluziki] revolution all over again.". Similar military movements were seen in nearby bayans and barangays but not as many that passed here in Hanatuan.

Mandatory state-wide curfews are currently imposed on the seven southern states where the military movements were seen, but each state governments are still silent regarding the military maneuvers and the imposition of a mandatory curfew. Meanwhile, the Defense Commissariat issued a statement saying, "...these military maneuvers are part of the national defense readiness plan to see our capabilities in defending our southern borders in case of military action."

It was superseded by the Defense Commissar at a press briefing held at The Decagon saying, "...it is the duty of the government to be prepared in such situations where conflict is unavoidable. It is also our duty to protect our ethnic citizens, whether here or in abroad, from threats that would undermine their safety and rights as citizens of any state where they're residing."

Some say that the message of the Defense Commissar is a threat to the Lakandan and Matahian governments after they passed a law that will deport any of their citizens with Martilian ethnicity back to our country. The two governments argue that ethnic Martilians were forcefully settled into their country so that Martilia could have a pretext to invade their two countries being as culturally similar to Martilia, but it should be known that before Lakanda and Matahi gained their independence they were once part of the Martilian Empire, and as provinces of the Martilian Reich both of which were predecessor states of Martilia.

Furthermore, some of the regions in the southern Martilian states were annexed both by Matahi and Lakanda in the aftermath of the Haluziki revolution.
