Military Paramotor Strikes in Sagaing Region
The Myanmar military utilized paramotors to drop explosives on civilian sites in Myinmu Township, Sagaing Region, on March 22, 2026. The strikes targeted a location where locals gathered to use satellite internet devices. Nine civilians were killed, and the subsequent fire destroyed several homes, prompting 5,500 people from the village and neighboring hamlets to flee into the jungle. This unconventional tactic has increased fears of unpredictable aerial attacks. Source: Yeni Safak and Anadolu Agency.
