On the morning of 17.IX.1743 AN and the afternoon of 19.IX, explosions occurred on two islands in the Sendai Atoll, Ssamaritan Islands, Oriental Taemhwan, namely Izu Island and Rampayan Island. Two series of bombings occurred at the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady of Izu Island which caused 42 deaths and 148 injuries, and at the Bait As-Syakir Mosque on Rampayan Island which caused 204 deaths and 134 injuries. This bombing is known as the Good Friday bombing, it occurred 4 days after the Scattered Islands status referendum held on 17-22.VII.1743 AN for separation from Oriental Taemhwan and the establishment of the Scattered Islands Special Self-Governing Territory. It is believed that following the referendum result in favour of Rampayan, Izu and Marcus joining the Scattered Islands, an armed movement known as the Save Three Sendai Islands Alliance (SATSIA) was formed afterwards, and that the movement carried out the attacks on the two houses of worship, and that the armed movement was held responsible. The President of Phinbella, Hang Wilhelm Aloysius Frederiksen responded by issuing an order of "all-out war" against SATSIA. The two series of bombings were widely condemned by the realm and also by the Order of the Holy Lakes.
