A military junta drone attack killed five civilians—including a five-month-old infant—in western Hpruso Township on August 4, residents and rescue workers said.
The strike occurred around 6:00 p.m. when junta forces deployed a drone to drop two heavy bombs directly onto a residential area.
“They dropped bombs from a drone — two large munitions hit a group of villagers,” a resident told Kantarawaddy Times.
On the afternoon of August 3, junta forces dropped another drone bomb in eastern Hpruso Township, wounding a 40-year-old woman.
Residents report that fear is mounting across Hpruso Township as the regime increasingly relies on aerial drone bombardments against civilian-populated areas.
