14h 15min, jul 6, 1967 y - The federal government in Lagos launched a full-
scale invasion into Biafra. Expecting a quick
victory, the Nigerian army surrounded and
buffeted Biafra with aerial and artillery
bombardment that led to large scale losses
among Biafran civilians. The Nigerian Navy also
established a sea blockade that denied food,
medical supplies and weapons, again impacting
Biafran soldiers and civilians alike.
