A military base in the capital of army-ruled Myanmar came under attack on Thursday by drones, the shadow government said. Reuters could not independently confirm the information and the military government could not immediately be reached for confirmation the incident had taken place.

The National Unity Government (NUG), an alliance of anti-junta groups formed to undermine military rule in the wake of a 2021 coup, said the attack was carried out in Naypyitaw, but provided no details on the drones used or the alleged attack. A spokesperson for the NUG's affiliate in Naypyitaw, the People's Defence Force (PDF), an armed resistance movement, said it attacked the instruction of the NUG's defence ministry. It did not provide details.
