2019 Laigheann accidental self-nuke

The 2019 Laigheann accidental self-nuke was an event that occurred on the 1st of April, 2019, when the government of accidentally dropped a nuclear weapon upon itself on three occasions. The dropping of the weapon was triggered by an anonymous tip-off sent to Laigheann about a potential nuclear attack on the nation.

Background
On the 1st of April 2019, at 09:25 Laigheach Standard Time, an employee in the Laigheach Department of Defense received an email from an anonymous email address through the 'Anonymous Tip' system. The email read:

''Dear sir, I regretfully inform you that I have received information of an attack on Laigheann from a neighbouring nation. I cannot reveal this nation for fear they will find out who I am and kill me, but I can provide coordinates: [DATA EXPUNGED]. This attack is due to occur on the 1st of April at 19:00 LST, so I urge you to act fast.''

Upon receiving this email, the information was forwarded to Defense minister John Joe Enright, who, after consulting with security experts and his own cabinet, decided to drop a nuclear weapon upon these coordinates.

First drop
The weapon was first dropped at 11:15 LST upon the coordinates listed, by weapons belonging to the Laigheach Defense Corps. Unfortunately, it emerged five minutes after the weapon was dropped that the weapon had been dropped upon the Laigheann Islands, 16km off the coast of Laigheann.

Second drop
The Laigheach Air Force detected that there had been a nuclear fallout on the Laigheann Islands, and prepared to attack the stealth bombers in the sky, unaware that the stealth bombers belonged to the Laigheach Defense Corps itself. The Air Force and Army engaged in a battle in the air, causing one of them to accidentally drop another bomb, which again landed on the Laigheach Islands.

Third drop
After the second drop, both sides realised that they were attacking their own nation. At this point, they decided to descend onto the Laigheach Islands to survey the damage. Unfortunately, one of those planes began to run out of fuel and hit the immediate spot where the previous two nuclear weapons had been, bursting into flames and killing two pilots on board.

Casualties
200,000 people living on the Laigheach Islands were killed by the two bombs, and 5 pilots were killed during the battle.
