Red Russian military units continue to enjoy success, seizing territory and consolidating their gains.  Virtually all of the Kola Peninsula is under their control, including all of the various weapons storage facilities in the Murmansk area.  These weapons storage areas contain vast quantities of conventional weapons as well as limited amounts of weapons of mass destruction. 

Naval units attached to NATO's Allied Command Atlantic (ACLANT) are quickly moving into position to blockade the military ports near Murmansk, while both carrier and land based fighters set up an air blockade.  In the south Kola, NATO aircraft begin flying joint missions with Blue Russian air units.

ACLANT Intelligence has received data that suggests Red naval units are preparing to sortie, most likely to the Baltic to assist bogged down Red forces near St. Petersburg.  Combat between NATO and Red forces appears to be imminent.
