Junta Deploys Suicide Drones Against Mone Township — Monastery Damaged

On March 23, two junta suicide drones launched by Light Infantry Battalion 439 struck Noboekhi village in Mone Township, Bago Region (near KNU Kler Lwee Htoo District). The drones damaged a monastery. No civilian casualties were confirmed in this specific strike, but the attack represented the continuing expansion of junta drone warfare against villages in Karen/Bago border areas traditionally under KNU protection. The junta has increasingly used small suicide drones as a lower-cost supplement to jet airstrikes across multiple fronts.
