Berlin, Germany
In recent news, an ex-Nod spy was reportedly poisoned in the GDI controled city of London. Docters have found that the cause of his untimely death was due to tiberium poisoning in the blood stream. The Agent had a rare condition that required fresh blood to be pumped into his body once a month, during one of his visits, apparently one of the blood bags were contaminated by tiberium.
The agent, born in 2005, retired from the service of the Brotherhood at the close of the second Tiberium War. Though a strong supporter of Nod, he turned to GDI held territory with his Swiss Bank account, to live the high life and avoid the truth. Later in his life he become more famous for founding his own tiberium research corporation, as well as protesting GDI and Nod tiberium research being to 'Big Brother,' that it should be the people's choice on how this research is done. Both GDI and Nod are denying accusations from researchers and loved ones.
One person, who wishes to remain nameless and faceless in the matter, spoke with us, "He was a good man...people that knew him said that he had a big heart, researching only to remove tiberium from Earth forever. GDI and Nod want tiberium...thats their hold to power. Who did it? I don't know, they tried to bribe him and threaten him into helping them, neither would."
Nod recently has stated today, that they would be donating large sums of money to the research corporation and grieved family members in an act of kindness for their horrible incident.
Ramadi, Iraq
Over 200 GDI Vehicles head for Ramadi. Nod troops and local resistance fighters prepare themselves for a suspected offensive.
In a dispatch of 7:00pm EST, a Nod Command Bulletin reported that enormous convoys of GDI vehicles are heading for the city of Ramadi. According to reliable sources, the GDI Command is planning mass raids in the city, using various heavy vehicles including Predator Medium Tanks and Mammoth Tanks. Orca Gun ships and UAV Spy Planes have been spotted in the north of the city, most likely looking for possible routes. The puppet police imposed a curfew in the city, and cut off electricity to over 200 residents.
Despite the curfew, Nod troops and local fighters in the area have fortified several neighbourhoods. Nod squads, carrying pulse rifles, rockets launchers, and flamethrowers are patrolling most of the major districts in central Ramadi, and Nod snipers have been perched on the top of houses.
Battle Com reported that Nod troops and local fighters have clashed with puppet police forces at least twice during the day, however there has been no information on casualties.
Sarajevo, Serbia
Three Orca Gun ships reportedly shot down in Sarajevo
In a dispatch at 3:00pm EST, Battle Com reported that three Orca Gun Ships hovering over Sarajevo were shot down by Nod surface-to-air missiles.
Witnesses said they saw each of the Orcas catch on fire and crash into the earth, one by one. The crash sites were immediately sealed off by Serbian troops, making it impossible to get information on the extent of casualties. The attackers quickly withdrew from the area, having suffered no arrests or casualties.
The GDI Command did not confirm the attack, revealing their intentions of hiding casualties from the public.
Madaba, Jordan
Nod missile scores a direct hit on a GDI Aircraft carrier, killing two GDI soldiers.
According to a Nod Command bulletin, Nod forces have fired a cruise missile at a state-of-the-art GDI aircraft carrier, eliminating 2 GDI occupational troops and wounding several others.
Witnesses say the carrier was patrolling the Dead Sea when suddenly a missile fired from the town of Madaba struck it. The aircraft carrier then caught on fire, causing a pillar of smoke to rise. After a few minutes, the fire on the ship was extinguished by GDI puppet troops. According to the bulletin, heavy damage was inflicted to several gun ships on the carrier.
Orca Gun ships prowled the skies at a low altitude searching for the attackers, however, they had already withdrew.
Ar-Rub al-Khali, Saudi Arabia
Nod Regional Commander announces GDI retreat and Nod liberation of the vast Ar-Rub al Khali area of Saudi Arabia.
Nod Regional Commander Yousef Al Sufi announced that all GDI forces have been cleared from the vast desert of Ar-Rub al Khali, forcing the occupational troops to retreat to the Oman.
He announced the divine victory as Nod fortresses near the border smashed three more GDI Predator tanks, causing the full retreat of GDI forces. At least six GDI troops were annihilated and eight more wounded.
“After years of resistance, we have final liberated this vast region,†the Nod Regional Commander said, “Our troops are now patrolling the scattered villages, imposing new laws and chasing local traitors who supported GDI´s globalizationâ€.
There has been no mention of plans to cross the Oman border, but ever since today´s defeat, GDI forces have naturally been deteriorating from the small towns across the border.
Caen, France
Nod militants clash with French puppet troops.
In a dispatch at 4:00pm EST, Battle Com reported that Nod militants, garrisoned in the high-rises of western Caen clashed with French puppet troops, wounding four of them.
The French troops, carrying light weapons, surrounded three high-rises on Saturday, and engaged in a battle with Nod liberation forces. The fighters were able to repel the attack and disable an armoured vehicle, despite the puppet troops´ outnumbering upper hand.
50% of the city is currently under the control of Nod forces during the day, and up to 60% control during the night. Nod troops continue to patrol the streets, provide armoured shelter for the women and children, and instruct civilians to stay in their homes.
Undisclosed, Yellow Zone
Nod Command on the 'leaked' document.
In recent news, Nod Central Command has made a press statement in regards to the recent leaked 'Nod' document. This document appeared to be true at first, even quoting the Nod News Network itself to make it seem real and current. However, Nod High Command had something to say about this.
"We have reasons to believe that this document is fake. The first and foremost issue at hand, is the actual document. It has been over forty-two years since Nod High Command have hand-delivered documents across land; impossible that these documents are real. Second, the signature, which would never be signed with 'general,' is also a false non-existant general," said Locke, a Nod High Command representative, "Our sources have told us that the email itself was sent out of the Brotherhood, and that the tracings use old CABAL coding. Apparently this Lorenzo character was using an old abandoned Nod facility to fake a the digital mail. The actual document has been recovered from this facility and examined After investigating the old Radar site, we found traces of CABAL... Lorenzo was trying to re-activate CABAL for some reason, and only within the Radar site itself. This was impossible, but we now have considered Lorenzo a prime target even if he couldn't have suceeded. His purpose? We are not sure, but surely it is some devilish plan to down Nod, conspired by GDI themselfs."
However, rest at ease Brothers, although GDI Agent Lorenzo is still on the run, our own agents are close on his trail. If you have seen, contacted, or harbored Lorenzo, the Black Hand is offering pardons and reward money for his whereabouts. Please report to the local authorities about your actions and they will deal with the issue properly.
Finally, we are proud to congratulate General Leirus on her recent promotion. The general has been fighting for Nod forces for 18 years now, and has lead many successful strikes against GDI forces, truly living up to her name of the world's deadliest scorpion!
May Kane's Divine Plan guide you
