Shocking jailbreak! Three Class A war criminals facing execution vanish into thin air!

The public execution of Class A war criminals ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇, originally scheduled for noon on the 21st of this month, was thwarted by masked terrorists who disguised themselves as spectators. According to our exclusive investigation, the perpetrators pulled out deadly weapons from their rally props and threw several fake bomb vests on innocent bystanders, triggering widespread chaos. As the firing squad tried to regain control, the Br▇▇n Roland statue at the southeastern end of the square collapsed, setting off smoke bombs that obscured the entire venue. In less than five minutes, all three war criminals disappeared, as if the whole ordeal was an elaborate magic trick.

General Guderian immediately placed adjacent neighborhoods under lockdown, but even after his forces cast a wide net and randomly raided suspicious households, the fugitives seemed to have simply evaporated into thin air. The crimes committed by the missing convicts are extremely severe, and anyone offering leads will be rewarded with a generous bounty by General Guderian himself.

According to an official military statement, the fugitives and their collaborators must be swiftly arrested upon discovery, and authorities must be immediately notified. If arrest is impossible, a summary execution will suffice.
