The People's Defense Force (PDF) has launched drone
attacks on the military headquarters and Aye Lar military airbase in Naypyidaw.
The defense ministry of the National Unity Government
(NUG) stated on Thursday that the simultaneous drone attacks targeting the
junta's military headquarters and Aye Lar military airbase resulted in damage.
The PDF special forces and Kloud Drone unit of the
Shar Htoo Waw technical force attacked the military headquarters, while the PDF
special forces and Lethal Props unit of the Shar Htoo Waw technical force
targeted the military airbase.
Naypyidaw military headquarters was attacked by 16
kamikaze drones and Aye Lar military airbase was targeted by 13 kamikaze drones
in the morning hours of 4 April.
"Currently, due to the loss of communication
network in military headquarters, the extent of damage remains unknown.
However, according to our sources, the military air base caught fire. We are
now able to initiate attacks on the most fortified areas of Naypyiday that were
deemed to be safe for the junta,” said the PDF Insight statement.
According to news reports, Aye Lar military airbase
was attacked by drones equipped with bombs. One of the drones landed near the
runway and exploded, resulting in the temporary closure of the airport for
clearance of mines.
Some reported that the residence of military leader
Min Aung Hlaing was also targeted, however Narinjara News can not confirm
it.
