Myanmar resistance group says its drones hit targets in the capital, but army says it shot them down

BANGKOK (AP) — Myanmar’s main pro-democracy resistance group says its armed wing launched drone attacks on the airport and a military headquarters in the capital, Naypyitaw. But the country’s ruling military said it destroyed or seized more than a dozen drones used in the attacks. The opposition National Unity Government’s “Defense Ministry” said Thursday that special units of the People’s Defense Force used drones to attack the targets simultaneously. The airport compound, which includes both a military air base and a civilian airport, is about 25 kilometers (16 miles) southwest of the military headquarters that was also targeted. The military said there were no reports of casualties.
