Country Accidentally Invades Own Ally, Calls It 'A Minor Border Disagreement Involving Tanks'

In a diplomatic incident that historians are calling 'unprecedented,' Militarystan accidentally invaded its strongest ally, Friendshiponia, after a navigation error sent 47 tanks 200 miles in the wrong direction. The tanks, which were supposed to participate in a training exercise, drove through Friendshiponia's capital city, caused $2 million in property damage, and apparently stopped at a gas station to buy snacks before anyone noticed. Militarystan's defense minister held a press conference where he described the invasion as 'a minor border disagreement involving some tanks, some friendly fire, and definitely not an invasion because we love Friendshiponia.' The two countries have agreed to remain allies, and Militarystan has sent a formal apology consisting of a fruit basket and a card that reads 'Oops, our bad, lol.'
