2021 Kozelsk War

The 2021 Kozelsk conflict, also known as the Eleven Day War, began in the disputed region of Kozelsk on August 28 2021 between Ziridava and Ordia. The conflict began after a series of smaller skirmishes on the border in Kozelsk, which is a de facto province of Ziridava, but is claimed by Ordia. Although both sides have made their own claims on how the conflict began, most believe it began after a skirmish occured between two border patrols after both country's presidents warned of retaliation, after weeks of repeated incidents of similar calibre. The conflict was the biggest escalation of violence in the region since the 90s, and has damaged relations not only between Ziridava and Ordia, but also between EDEN/the KP and the Vastava Pact.

The conflict ended when a ceasefire was agreed on by Ziridavan and Ordian delegates in Csongrád, Granzery. After the ceasefire went into effect, both sides continued to blame each other for starting hostilities, as well as claiming victory. While Ordia claims to have prevented a Ziridavan first strike, Ziridavan officials claim that the RZAF successfully repelled an Ordian operation to annex parts of the region.
