• 8.II.1720: The Nouvelle Alexandrie Embassy in Huyenkula authorizes the departure of all nonessential staff and their families, and makes public and private announcements that it is evacuating Nouvelle Alexandrie nationals, with an emphasis on women, minors, and children.
• 8.II.1720: New Alexandrian forces are welcomed as they occupy the Southern District in the face of minimal resistance, as mounting popular frustration with the government finally boils over. The 210th Army is poised for a dash northwards towards Huyenkula and Kaupang.
• 14.III.1720: Taking advantage of the chaos in the upper ranks of the government, the 210th Army, and attached formations, commenced a three pronged assault on Huyenkula from the southwest, south, and southeast, supported by a day of intensive airstrikes against buildings associated with the Hurmu Constabulary, trade union movement, and pro-government political parties. A combination of airmobile infantry and light armoured columns sought to converge upon the Parlerment House within the next forty-eight hours.

Aftermath

The operation is still ongoing, and the impact of the intervention on the overall conflict remains to be seen.
