The 4600 Jvuzrada bombings, also known as the 20th of Tocha attacks, were a series of coordinated bombing attacks carried out by tzalist dissidents in Dhimrai's capital of Jvuzrada on 20 Tocha 4600. The perpetrators detonated two bombs in the Central Larkeba Station, the headquarters of Dhimrai's Larkeba, which killed 26 civilians and Larkeba officers as well as both bombers, and injured 152. A third bomb was intended to be detonated at Zaxeebi Square, where Delegate Jvuri Artiokheli was headed for a rally, however the perpetrator was arrested by police before he could set off the explosive.

The attacks were planned by a group of tzalist dissident who opposed Dhimrai's anti-tzalist policy as well as its intervention in the Third Black War, the goal of which was to prevent the spread of Tzalism from the Oldirian Union. One man was prosecuted immediately following the attacks: Gyerän Élos, an Oldirian national and sole surviving bomber. In the following years, 6 more men were convicted due to confirmed association with the bombings, while 18 were tried on suspected ties to the dissidents. These wrongful convictions were heavily criticized by leftist activists as part of the Purple Scare.

Perpetrators

The attacks were carried out by three tzalist militants: Jvin Gdashkheli, Vidin Buritkheli, Gyerän Élos. Both Jvin Gdashkheli and Vidin Buritkheli died as a result of their bombs' respective explosions. Élos, an Oldirian-born immigrant who had been residing in Dhimrai since his childhood, was meant to set off a bomb at Zaxeebi Square with the goal of killing Delegate Jvuri Artiokheli. Before the Delegate even arrived at Zaxeebi Square, Élos was apprehended by police officers.

Trials

Aftermath

The attacks only bolstered anti-tzalist sentiment in the general populace as well as within the government, which increased support for Dhimrai's campaign in Etzavaz. Shortly following the attacks, Ciṙtsam Bravitkheli resigned as Director of the Ineabtsi.

In 4609, the street on which the Ineabtsi's headquarters are located was renamed from Imnart Street to 20th of Tocha Street in memory of the attacks.
