The Nassau West Department of Defense announced this evening a short time ago that thousands had been killed in air strikes in and around Nassau West this afternoon and early evening.

As the summer heat continues, an ant invasion of epic proportions has settled on the Capitol and the Benson Embassy directly south of the Capitol. This morning, the Embassy and then the Capitol were both sprayed with industrial strength insecticide.

Over the course of the day as grounds work continued, several more air strikes were called in to rid the grounds of the Capitol and Embassy of ant installations. In all, over two gallons of liquid insecticide and almost an entire can of ant dust were dispersed.

At dusk, an ant convoy was seen exiting the Embassy, traversing South Catarina Street, and continuing on westbound onto private property. The ant convoy was carrying stolen birdseed from the Embassy to their lair, which was later discovered during reconnaissance missions.

The entire convoy was doused with liquid and powder insecticide. The base of operations, after being located, was completely covered in the insecticide powder. The trail of dead and dying ants was impressive, and about 75 feet in length.

Tomorrow, the Department of Defense will do more reconnaissance missions and photograph the results of today's missions.
