Two suicide drones deployed by the military junta reportedly struck a village monastery in the Karen National Union (KNU)-designated Mone (Moo) Township, Nyaunglebin District in Bago Region, causing its complete destruction. The attack took place on the afternoon of 23 March.
According to KNU reports, the drone was launched by the junta’s Light Infantry Battalion 439 and struck a monastery in Nobokhe village. Photos released by the KNU show that the monastery’s roof and ceiling sustained significant damages in the drone strike.
“Heavy artillery, drones and aircraft are being used in deliberate, daily attacks on civilian villages and workplaces, leaving residents in a constant state of fear,” the KNU said in a statement.
Beyond Mone Township, the junta has also carried out drone and airstrikes in other townships across Nyaunglebin District.
According to the KNU, the junta carried out drone and Y-12 aircraft bombings in Kyauk Kyi (Ler Doh) and Shwegyin (Saw Hti) townships between 19 and 22 March, injuring one person and damaging 16 houses.
