According to a single unverified report, opposition forces in Myanmar attacked a military Mi-17 helicopter using an FPV drone in the Magway Region's Myaing Township, killing several soldiers. The attack was claimed by the National Unity Government (NUG), its Defense Ministry, the People's Defense Force (PDF), and other local guerrilla groups. The report notes that the NUG's Defense Ministry is separate from the ruling military junta's ministry. The incident underscores the ongoing armed conflict in Myanmar, where opposition forces have increasingly used drones against military targets. The Zioneer has previously reported on the conflict, including a UN report accusing the Myanmar army of killing over 700 civilians in six months (June 22, 2026). However, this specific attack has not been independently confirmed. The number of casualties and the exact location remain as reported by the single source.
