Samukani Intervention in Rytz-Rutz Conflict
Ryzzle has pushed further into the Rutz interior, destroying border checkpoints and advancing miles inward. Official reports from the Rutz government put both military and civilian casualties in the hundreds of thousands. Civilians made up the majority of total casualties. The Rutz air force was completely destroyed in the advance, granting full control of the skies to Ryzzle. Dozens of bomber raids have devastated Rutz towns.
President Roffgan ordered the URS Navy 2nd Fleet to move to the Rutz coast for limited military intervention. In cooperation with the Hackleberry Islands Navy, the URSS Lazuren-led fleet has used radio interference to disrupt Rytz military communication. The effectiveness of the interference is unknown. Ryzzle has not commented on Samukan's intervention.
Luminous Technologies Announces Improved Automotive Battery Design
High-tech company Luminous Technologies announced today an improved design for car batteries. Luminous is a young company that has made headlines for its rapid advancements in electrical engineering. Earlier this year, CEO Hannah Reggat announced that Luminous would cooperate with automotive company Hyusis Motors to develop a convenient, inexpensive electric car. A major technological obstacle for electric cars is the short battery life, requiring long and frequent charges to continue running. This inconvenience has been a challenge for putting electric cars on the market. The new battery design may allow for longer battery life and shorter charging, encouraging consumers to invest in electric cars.
