The OU military intervention in Akvatika,[note 1] also known as the OU military intervention in Shaoyu,[note 2] was a military conflict on Akvatika Island (also known as Shaoyu Island), Zloveshchiy. The military intervention was led by an Ostlandet Union-led coalition known as the OU Task Force for Shaoyu (OUTFS), which was intervening to establish an OU mandate on the island following the discovery of the Akvatika Island genocide. OUTFS was composed of the armed forces of Akvarelusus, Baltanla, Gjorka, Monsilva, New Gandor, Paleocacher, and Rakhman, and it was further supported by military units from Jackson, Kivu, Pavulturilor and Reykanes.
Political tensions between Monsilva and Zloveshchiy over the island date back as far as 1969, when Zloveshchiy was given control over the island from Jackson, who had held the island as Niao Dao after seizing it from the Kingdom of Great Shan in 1828. The Kingdom of Monsilva's far-right government frequently conflicted with neighboring Zloveshchiy's far-left government during the 1970s, and Akvatika served as a prominent and contentious issue for both. Conflict over the island died down briefly after the establishment of the Monsilvan Republic, however they resurfaced in 1984 after prime minister Hsu Xue-zhou said "Zloveshchiy's control of Shaoyu is equivalent to your neighbor controlling your own backyard." This quote would be used frequently by people who protested against Zloveshchiy's administration of the island. Tensions between the two countries gradually increased over the following years until June 2023, with the announcement by newly elected prime minister Lin Yao-tang that Monsilva would claim Akvatika as its own territory.
Simultaneously, during the sudden increases in tensions between the two nations, agents of the Pavulturilori National Security Service had been operating undercover on Akvatika. On 23 August 2023, the Ostlandet Union announced the discovery of the Akvatika Island genocide which had been operating since 1969 and had lead to approximately eight million deaths. Consequently, the OU announced that it was officially recognizing the island as Monsilvan territory and demanded that Zloveshchiy relinquish control over it immediately. On 25 August, the President of Zloveshchiy rejected the OU's demand to relinquish control. On 27 August, a vote to place an OU mandate on the island was successfully passed in the OU legislature. On 31 August, the OU military intervention officially began.
The intervention was concluded with the surrender of 5,210 Zloveshchiyan soldiers in the city of Yinjiang on 30 September 2023 and the establishment of the OU mandate for Shaoyu.
