Attempted Drone Strike Thwarted During Chin National Day in Haka

Security forces successfully prevented an FPV suicide drone attack targeting the venue of the Chin National Day ceremony held in Haka, Chin State.

Joint groups reportedly identified as CDF (Haka) and PDF terrorists carried out a malicious attack using FPV suicide drones, aimed at disrupting the Chin National Day commemorative event and causing harm to members of the public attending the ceremony in the compound of the office complex in Hakha.

The incident occurred yesterday morning during the 78th Chin National Day ceremony. Security personnel undertaking air defence duties detected the incoming FPV suicide drones through air defence systems and took timely preventive measures. Consequently, the drones were intercepted before reaching the ceremony venue.

Due to the prompt actions of the security forces, the drones failed to hit the target area and instead crashed to the ground in nearby locations without exploding. Security personnel then conducted systematic clearance operations, rendering safe the explosive materials attached to the downed drones. No casualties or damage to buildings were reported.

Residents reportedly condemned the terrorist acts, which targeted a non-military commemorative event and public gathering areas with the intention of causing casualties and destruction. Authorities stated that investigations are being carried out in cooperation with the public to swiftly identify and take action against those responsible for the attack.
