====First Telekonese conflict====

{{main|Telekonese Conflict}}

In an effort to bolster its dwindling legitimacy, to mobilize strong patriotic feelings of the glory days of the North Songun era, and to distract the people from the woes of economic stagnation and multiple failed promises after the initial reforms, the socialist regime began to mobilize the [[Kelekonese People's Army]] and the [[Kelekonese People's Navy]] for an eventual attack on Arcerion in hopes of reclaiming some islands that were historically a part of the Telekonese homeland, feeling confident that the war-weary Arcers would not come to the defense of these islands or seek to retake them which may in turn allow for the Kelekonese government to press their claim in the League of Nations. At four hours after midnight on 12 August 1986, just before daybreak, Kelekonese naval vessels were spotted off the coast of the Foxhey Islands, and soon the islands of Sharnwick, Larton, Gramsby, and Swindon were seized by the Kelekonese forces, with Farnsworth and Port Gibson coming under attack not long afterwards. Despite the Kelekonese hopes for a swift takeover of the islands, they were instead met with a warning to withdraw any and all forces within ninety-six hours or otherwise face a counterattack from Arcer forces. During the brief occupation, the Kelekonese forces faced attacks and violent protests from the Arcer inhabitants of the island, with some twenty-four Arcer citizens being killed as a result.
