Background
Corummese tactical difficulties and underperformance of theater units on the Southern Xisheng Front led Corummese political leadership to authorize increasingly radical methods. The use of tactical nuclear weapons was first discussed on December 2022 when Corummese 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 Isles, 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 sattelite imagery.
