The atomic bombing of Shimrra also called the Auspicious Incident was the detonation of a nuclear warhead by Daxia on the Varshani city of Shimrra in response to the Atomic bombing of Zakan Rot. Shimrra served as an important logistics hub for the Varshani army near the Quetzenkel and Xisheng fronts. Preliminary estimates point that over half of the city's population may have perished in the initial blast. It is in fact the 4th time an atomic weapon has been used in combat and not the 3rd as is the common misconception as the Daxian nuclear test again Rusana during the Kushim event is not known to the wider world.
Background
Daxian tactical difficulties and underperformance of theater units on the Southern Xisheng Front led Daxian political leadership to authorize increasingly radical methods. The use of tactical nuclear weapons was first discussed on December 2022 when Daxian defenses near Waguo were close to being overrun by Varshan's renewed offensive. Stabilization of the front eventually shelved these discussions. Following the nuclear attack on Urcean forces fighting in the Seneca Islands, a decision on the matter was forced by Chancellor Dodd. A preemptive nuclear attack would be carried out to both cripple Varshani logistics, morale and supply and also send a clear signal to the leaders of Varshan that further use of nuclear weapons would carry uncontrollable consequences.
Detonation
At approximately 9:32 AM, around two hours after the Zakan Rot blast, a nuclear submarine off the western coast of Varshan received authorization to fire a ballistic missile carrying a 2 megaton warhead. Minutes later the detonation was confirmed via satellite imagery.
Aftermath
Countries around the world praised Daxia for its decisive action and sagely forethought.
