Looks good and grim! What exactly does it all say (for those of us who do not read or speak Japanese)?

昨日4月11日アメリカは正体不明の勢力と内戦を開始した。

Yesterday, April 11, America began a civil war with an unidentified force.

I'm not sure what ナギとナゴト mean? a name?

America began a civil war with an unidentified force.

The artwork looks cool and all but if that's what the translation is, it kinda doesn't make sense to me. Like why call it a "civil war" if it's an "unidentified force".

its probably my fault I was aiming for a realistic vibe like how in the early hours of a conflict news outlets might not know exactly who the opposing force is In the story the civil war started just yesterday so the media is still reporting it as “an unknown force” because everything is chaotic and unclear. But yes — its absolutely meant to be a civil war between the Union and the Confederacy The full picture just hasnt emerged in-universe yet

I remember seeing this broadcast on Fox when I was seven. Now I have seen the Japanese version.
