Myanmar anti-regime drones chase and attack military generals

BANGKOK/YANGON -- Senior generals of the Myanmar military have become the targets of drone attacks in recent days, reinforcing the impression that, together with the frontline retreat in a Thai border region, the military regime is on the defensive in clashes with anti-regime forces.

Vice Senior General Soe Win, the second-ranking officer in the military regime, was targeted by drone attacks carried out in the state of Mon, in the country's south, on Monday and Tuesday. He was attending a meeting at a military facility when the building and a parked helicopter were damaged. The vice senior general was reportedly injured.
