A few days following the massive amount of military personnel the HSSR reports short range rocket testing had been done, and that the massive military scramble was to divert attention away from the testing site. The HSSR would not release any time specific information, just that it was sometime after the heavy military movement. The HSSR reports that the weapons testing was successful, and shows a lot of promise to the future of weapons development.

 

However, residents of the small village of Jon-Jon reported seeing something "much larger than a short range rocket". Residents report being told to stay indoors, and around 4pm they saw a blinding light followed by a large gust of wind and a major black out. After several hours, power was restored, but the residents were still told to remain indoors.

 

In a press conference, the HSSR Public Announcement Official answered question from reporters.

In regards to the phenomenon experienced in Jon-Jon, the PAO answered that what had happened was just a part of the testing, and those living in Jon-Jon have nothing to worry about. The military was only wanting to keep everyone indoors to help maintain secrecy and secure everyone's safety during and directly after testing.

As for the 3 scientists who were awaiting execution, the PAO responded only by saying that any information about the subject is classified.
