Terrorists had planned to attack important buildings and locations in the Nay Pyi Taw Council Area, Zeyathiri Township, and Ela. They intended to cause panic among the people by launching fixed-wing aircraft from near Zeyathiri Township and Ela at around 10:30 am yesterday. They had begun preparing for these terrorist bombings.
The air defence forces, responsible for air security duties in the Nay Pyi Taw Council Area, detected the planned attack using air defence systems. They successfully intercepted all the fixed-wing aircraft. As a result of this prevention, two of the aircraft exploded in the air before reaching their targets, and the remaining fixed-wing planes were shot down. Thirteen of the aircraft that crashed to the ground after being intercepted were seized. Among them, four were found to have explosive devices and had to be safely detonated in a controlled manner. The security forces are currently investigating the other fixed-wing aircraft that crashed on the ground.
Fortunately, there were no casualties or damage to people or buildings in this incident. The security forces remain vigilant and are prepared to respond immediately to any emergencies. — MNA/TKO
