The Corumm-Kiravia compact used the presence of transnational revolutionary movements as a formal excuse to declare war. After the debellation of [[Nanseetucket]] and the establishment of [[Corumm]]ese and [[Kiravian]] colonial administrations on its former territory, some forces loyal to the old regime took refuge in Alpachnee lands, as did anti-colonial militant groups such as the [[Revolutionary Guerrilla Triads|Revolutionary Guerrilla Triads - Eastern Command]]. | The Corumm-Kiravia compact used the presence of transnational revolutionary movements as a formal excuse to declare war.

Open hostilities broke on October 31st 2020 with [[Corumm]]ese forces striking several Alpachnee military sites with unmanned drones and artillery attacks on border posts. A few hours later Corummese units of the [[Army of Conquest]] and auxiliary forces from [[Chimoche]] began a wholescale offensive into Alpachnee; dubbed '''Operation Spring Clean'''. | |||

Corummese forces faced only weak resistance on its advance on the regional capital as the majority of local forces retreated into Tarum and made it the lynchpin of Alpachnee's southwest defense. Alpachnee reinforcements streaming south from Umuto ballooned the city's defenders to around 10,000. Crucially for the defense, Alpachnee had in its posession very few anti air systems, mostly older Pelaxian models. During the siege these would prove completely unable to shoot down Corummese drones which picked apart artillery emplacements, troop convoys and strategically important buildings. By November 6th Corummese forces had broken through defensive lines east and west of the city and were close to encircling it. Only the highway north to the city of Umuto remained open and was the defender's last line of communication and supply with the rest of Alpachnee controlled territory. By november 7th the Tarum-Umuto highway was within range of Corummese artillery. An Alpachnee counterattack managed to recover five villages east of the highway before being repelled back. On November 8th and under LoN auspices, Corummese and Alpachnee commanders agreed to set up a humanitarian corridor to allow Tarum's remaining defenders to leave the city while abandoning all of their ammunition, vehicles and heavy weaponry. | Corummese forces faced only weak resistance on its advance on the regional capital as the majority of local forces retreated into Tarum and made it the lynchpin of Alpachnee's southwest defense.
