On the morning of January 31, 2026, a joint operation conducted by Sebelstian, Luobuese and Bloxji forces resulted in an invasion of the Democratic States of Working Noobs, leading in the seizure of Noobwood, the capital of the DSWN, as well as the capture and later surrender of John Jason Wayne, the then-president of the DSWN, and a later agreement of peace between the two. It was codenamed Operation New Spring (Operação Nova Primavera in Ro-Portuguese), military operation in the Democratic States of Working Noobs, which was conducted between 00:58 on 31 January and 01:20 on 2 February 2026. Both John Jason Wayne and many of his close officials were also captured, and taken to a disclosed to face charges.
Background
The governments of BaconHairBlox (Sebelsti) and John Jason Wayne (DSWN)[1] have been in a state of conflict, on and off in various forms since BaocnHairBlox became president in 2017, but the conflict reached its height in November 2025, when, armed conflict broke out near the border between the two countries, and over the DSWN’s alleged funding of North Noobanian forces, who seek to create an independent North Noobania government, but it is not recognized by any country besides the DSWN. On January 12, Sebelsti officially announced that it had declared war on the DSWN. Around that time, the Minister of Defense announced that charges were being filed on Coralref and hundreds of his close associates, however days before, military units began clustering around the DSWN, by land and sea, and much of the strikes began weeks before.
Start
At around 00:48, on January 31 , multiple fighter jets had been deployed near the border. According to radar obtained from that night, there were around 69 jets in use that day. The first strikes were reported at around 00:57, on various air bases, as well as ports, power stations, and other infrastructure, as well as anti-aircraft missile launchers, to prevent a retaliatory strike on behalf of the DSWN. At 01:10, land based units begun entering the capital. A power outage begun in Noobwood at around 01:17, after aerial strikes destroyed multiple electrical substations, leading to a 10 hour blackout, which was mostly restored at 11:00 that day. [2] At 01:24, the first paratroopers landed in Noobwood. By 01:30, a state of emergency was declared nationwide. It was reported that officials in the DSWN attempted contacting military bases all over the country, but none of them were able to contact Noobwood because their communications were almost entirely destroyed. To avoid drawing any attention, the last few operational bases went under full radio silence to prevent detection, although no more strikes on any bases would happen until 03:00.
Counterattack Attempt
By 03:04, the first radio communication was made between Noobwood and a base in Noob City. According to independent investigators, the secret plan was to launch an attack on one of its own major cities, and stage it as if Sebelsti committed the attack. That was later denied by the Ministry of State Defense, who said it was “too risky”. The plan after that was to evacuate Noobwood and re-establish control from a remote command point far from Noobwood. Multiple anti-aircraft missiles were launched, but were struck by the Automatic Airspace Defense System, which was being towed by a large field carrier by Sebelsti.

Weeks before the attack was planned, officials in Sebelsti had narrowed down multiple locations they believed to be secret hideouts for the leader of the DSWN. One of them was in Noobly Hill, a suburb of Noobwood, which they believed to be the emergency shelter of choice. At 03:11, Bloxji tactical units had already been deployed to the compound, which was built to appear like a farm. By 03:15, the entire site was surrounded, and the joint force entered the main house, where Coralref and two other officials were found standing. Coralref was arrested by the SPRA and flown by a helicopter to an empty field 40 km outside of the city, which was transformed into a temporary runway. He, as well as other officials were flown to Port Sebelsti International Airport, where he was taken to Nakoof Central Prison’s Block 5, its most secure cell block. Coralref is expected to be indicted by March 2026.
DSWN Response
The Interim Government of the DSWN responded to the raid, alleging that Sebelsti committed a war crime, and that the DSWN will use it as a way to further its justification for going to war with Sebelsti. Sebelsti, as well as other members of the United Roblox Countries have pledged to install a peacekeeping operation in the DSWN. This has been code named as Operation Liberty (Operação Liberdade) by Sebelsti.
Rebuilding
Sebelsti has offered over 3.1 billion Robux , under the condition that a new government be installed and the two countries come to a peace agreement, but the offer is currently suspended due to the ineligibility of the interim government. Financial aid has already been distributed to civilians who lost their homes during the operation, and many of them were airlifted to Nakoof.
