India Accused of Drone Strikes in Myanmar, Sparking Sovereignty Row

On July 13, Indian forces allegedly conducted drone strikes inside Myanmar’s Sagaing region, targeting camps of the United Liberation Front of Asom (Independent) (ULFA-I). Reports claim around 150 Israeli-made drones were used, resulting in the death of several militants—possibly including ULFA commander Nain Asom. Critics assert this marks a serious breach of Myanmar’s sovereignty and reflects an expansionist agenda by Prime Minister Modi. While India officially denies any involvement, observers argue the operation aligns with a desire to distract from setbacks in “Operation Sindoor.” The raids were reportedly coordinated under the guidance of National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, known for his aggressive security policies
