Bombing of Véragyőr

The bombing of Véragyőr (: Véragyőr Bombázása; : Бамбардзіроўка Самаго Верагйор), also known in Granzery as the Christmas Massacre (: Karácsonyi Mészárlás) and in Gorbatov as the Christmas Raid, (: Калядны Hалёт) was a Gorbatovic bombing raid on the city of Véragyőr, the capital city of Granzery. Over the course of the day, Gorbatovic Proletarian Liberation Army Air Force dropped tens of thousands of tonnes of explosives and incendiary devices on the city, as what have been described as for the Gorbatov Embassy Massacre of 1970.

The Granzerian National Front were mostly armed with Juhasz J-1 aircraft that had been kept in reserve, which while still effective, proved to be far inferior to the far more modern Gorbatovic contemporaries. Six Juhasz J-2 aircraft that had been captured by the Granzerian National Front also took part in the battle, and were able to shoot down three Gorbatovic fighters and a Gorbatovic bomber for the loss of only a single J-2, however due to a lack of available infrared missiles, the J-2 aircraft spent much of the day grounded.

International Reactions

 * Granzery - The Granzerian state considers the air raids alongside the Novak Chemical Attack to be war crimes and crimes against humanity, claiming that the attacks specifically targeted civilian locations with the intent of spreading terror. However the bombing have been largely overshadowed by the Novak chemical attack, which received far more international attention.
