Myanmar Resistance Launches Coordinated Drone Attacks on Capital

The military claims to have thwarted the attacks, shooting down over a dozen drones without casualties or damage.

Myanmar's main pro-democracy resistance group, the National Unity Government, and its armed wing, the People's Defense Force, launched drone attacks on Naypyitaw's airport and military headquarters.
The military reported shooting down 13 drones, including some with explosives, but acknowledged no damage or casualties resulted from the attempted attacks.
The resistance claims the attacks aimed to undermine the military's control and show that the generals have nowhere to hide, despite the military's significant advantages in armaments and manpower.
Drones have become a crucial weapon for the resistance, which lacks the army's heavy firepower. The use of more sophisticated drones to drop explosives on military targets marks a significant step forward in their capabilities.
Myanmar has been in a state of turmoil since the military seized power in February 2021, leading to nationwide protests and an ongoing civil war.
