Earth Environment Minister Khalil Fawcett was murdered, becoming the 17th high-ranking Earth Federation official to be assassinated by the anti-Federation group Mafty.

Haunzen Flight 356, transporting multiple members of the Earth Federation cabinet to the Adelaide Conference, was hijacked following its atmospheric re-entry by masked terrorists falsely claiming to be Mafty. Public Health Minister Hiram Mescher was killed during the incident.

Overnight, the real Mafty attacked Davao, where Haunzen Flight 356 had been diverted, and massacred the cabinet ministers by destroying the hotel at which they were staying. The attack was also meant to cover Hathaway Noa’s covert departure from Davao, but he chose to stay to protect Gigi Andalucia during the battle.
