People’s Defence Forces (PDF) and PDF Insight claim the Myanmar resistance used drones to target the Military Council military headquarters and the international airport in Naypyidaw on the morning of 4 April.
According to a statement from a PDF representative, the attacks were carried out in accordance with directives from the Special Operations Department of the Ministry of Defense of the opposition National Unity Government (NUG).
“We are doing it according to the instructions of the Special Operations Department of the Ministry of Defense, and the details will be released by the MOD (National Unity Government, Ministry of Defense),” said a member of the PDF, who requested anonymity due to lack of authorization to comment on official reports.
At approximately 9:00 am, 16 drones, referred to as suicide drones or kamikaze drones, struck the military headquarters overseeing the entire Military Council, while 13 drones targeted Naypyidaw International Airport, also known as Ela or Ayelar airport. The airport is utilized by both military and commercial aircraft.
Security measures are stringent in Naypyidaw, the capital and headquarters of the Military Council or Myanmar military junta, although previous attacks by defense forces employing heavy weaponry on Military Council installations have occurred.
Currently, communication with the entire military headquarters is disrupted, making it difficult to assess the extent of the damage. However, sources indicate that Ayelar airport, housing the Ayelar airport, housing the Ayelar air force base, is experiencing fires.
