Legit players are removed when they choose assignments with double points

Hello everybody 

I have just been told that many legit players were sent to NI during war, when they chose an assignment that gives double points e.x. upgrade a disaster, monster sea attack etc. 

Since it’s not the double points last CoM week, is there a possibility to have a game bug at this moment? All players that were sent to NI could return back within a few minutes but they lost the war on the going... anyone has heard anything more about it?

Thanks
