YANGON: Opponents of Myanmar’s junta launched a rocket attack on an airport in the capital Naypyidaw but caused no casualties, security sources said on Wednesday (July 17), after a rare breach of the military’s seat of power.
The military’s ouster of democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi’s government in a 2021 coup sparked renewed fighting with ethnic minority armed groups, as well as with pro-democracy People’s Defence Forces (PDFs).
