Following the CIFSZ's decision not to participate in Operation Fulmen, after 55% of its members voted in favor of non-involvement, Teutonia elected to proceed with the operation independently. Operation Fulmen consists of Teutonian paratroopers deploying into South Zamundan territory with the objective of gradually restoring electricity across districts affected by the ongoing crisis. Although the authoritarian government of South Zamunda publicly condemned the operation and rejected the restoration efforts, Teutonian forces continued with their mission. The local South Zamundan population, particularly the newly established South Zamundan Front for Democracy (SZFD), has expressed support for the operation and agreed to assist the paratroopers. SZFD members have provided security and logistical support while Teutonian personnel work to repair communication lines and restore essential infrastructure. As of the second day of Operation Fulmen, approximately 30% of South Zamunda's electrical grid has been restored. Restoration efforts have progressed rapidly, with Teutonian paratroopers working around the clock to repair damaged infrastructure and reconnect communities to essential services. The CIFSZ remains aware that any direct attack by the South Zamundan dictatorship against Teutonian personnel would likely be interpreted as a hostile act against the CIFSZ, potentially escalating the situation into a larger conflict. Despite this deterrent, Operation Fulmen's leadership continues to prioritize the swift completion of the mission, seeking to restore electricity and communications throughout South Zamunda before the government can effectively disrupt the effort. With local assistance from the South Zamundan Front for Democracy (SZFD) and growing support among civilians, restoration teams have maintained their momentum, making significant gains in reconnecting critical infrastructure across the country.
