The Davyosok War (Damserz: Davyosók ce-hód, Vosan: Davôsokåc Gedim) was a border conflict between Siyezan and Vosan involving the disputed Davyosok region. It is the most recent military crisis between both countries.

Background

After the fall of Khezian Sannism in 1991, the regimes in both Vosan and Siyezan saw the need for greater cooperation to ensure the stability of their power. A big obstacle to this had been the disputed Davyosok region, a majority Siyezi area claimed by Siyezan since 1920.
In 1991, Vos president Ô Iâyes ceded the region to Siyezan in exchange for closer cooperation, in immediate response to the Khezid revolution. Even after his assassination, his successor Savatiyes retained the treaty.
(stuff happens within Vosan)
After the overthrowing of Savatiyes in 1999 and the reinsauration of democracy, president-elect of Vosan () considered the treaty illegitimate and claimed Davyosok as Vos territory under occupation, and he demanded Siyezi president Vanali Duye to return his forces home peacefully, to which Vanali refused and instead ordered to prepare defensive possitions within the area.
It took Vosan a year to stabilise their internal situation enough to send soldiers to deal with the region.

Course of the war

Gostidar water plant raid

On the night of December 13th, 17 Vos aircraft launched a bombing raid against the major water purification plant at Gostidar, in the northern Juqaşat area. The attack took the Siyezi defenders by surprise, which, lacking anti-air equipment at the facility, were left defenceless, as the Vos squadron avoided approaching the nearby military base which had proper equipment to shoot them down. This base did try deploying a counger-squadron, but they were late, and by the time they could reach the air the Vos had already retreated. This attack left 4 dead and 23 injured at the plant, and sparked great controversy in Vosan. However, the plant was heavily damaged, which would prompt Siyezan into negotiating peace with Vosan a mere 11 days later.

Aftermath

After the surrender, Siyezan had to abandon all its claims to the area, in exchange for it being granted a high autonomy status.
The victory had the effect of giving legitimacy to the newly established Vos government, while it had the opposite effect on Siyezan. Vanali's government had grown less popular over the years, and the war had worsened economic problems. It is considered a direct cause of the 2001 Siyezi constitutional crisis.
