Myanmar revolutionary forces used drones to drop bombs on three junta military posts in Bilin Township in Mon State on 21 September.

The Kyaikhto Township Revolution Force (KRF) reported that the joint forces of the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), KRF, Thaton Township People's Defense Force (TPDF), Thuriya Column, and Pa-O People Defense Force (Kham Dom) launched the drone attacks between 10 am and 11:24 am, dropping two bombs on each of the three junta posts.

The posts, located in Ahlulay Village, were reportedly manned by approximately 15 junta soldiers in each.

The KRF's deputy-in-charge said, “While the exact number of casualties and injuries could not be confirmed, I think the attacks injured eight soldiers across the three locations. However, these reports remain unverified at this time.”

During the drone mission, the military regime retaliated by recklessly firing upon neighbouring areas. The extent of damage caused by the regime during the incident is still being assessed and confirmed, KRF said.

Overall, the drone attacks on the military junta's posts were a coordinated effort involving multiple armed groups, aimed at disrupting the regime's operations in Bilin Township.
