The day before, Prime Minister Sephanos Menelaus had addressed the nation again. He informed that Octitanian forces had been attacked by Arkiania in Octitania national territory, and they had pushed into further Octitanian land. Menelaus denounced such attack and declared that Octitania would defend itself by any means necessary. "Arkianian aggression will not prevail", he warned. He finished his speech calling the international community to give a strong message against Arkianian aggression, and promising the Octitanian people that his government won't renounce to defend them and their freedom.
The Octitanian Armed Forces tried to push back the Arkianian army as far as possible, but they started to withdraw in several areas in order to avoid being overpowered or isolated from the bulk of Octitanian frontline forces. As soon as possible, forces from the rear were sent to prepare a counter-attack aimed to stop Arkianian attacks, and Octitanian replied with artillery, rockets and missiles directly at Arkianian forces at both sides of the border.
Despite Mestran declaration of war, Octitanian government did not abandon diplomatic initiatives, consdering that Mestran government may reconsider their position before actual fighting happened, if Octitania seemed able to resist Arkianian attacks and after pressure of the international community. Visibly irritated, however, Octitanian Foreign Minister denounced the position of the Mestran government, rejecting the words of the Mestran monarch as lies and untruthful propaganda.
"There can't be a war in defense of Arkiania", he declared in Lanlian to the foreign press, "as there is no war against Arkiania. It is actually Arkiania the only aggressor, and Octitania is trying to defend itself, fighting for our sovereignty and freedom of the Octitanian people".
Later that day, Prime Minister Sephanos Menelaus announced total mobilization of the Octitanian armed forces, and national conscription for every Octitanian male citizen older than 20 years old.
