BANGKOK (AP) — A drone attack on a police headquarters in eastern Myanmar has killed at least five officials including a senior army officer and a district administrator. The attack on Sunday evening is believed to be the deadliest aerial bombing targeting high-ranking security and administrative officials since armed resistance was launched more than two years ago against the military that seized power in 2021. Federal Wings, a resistance group that conducts drone warfare, claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attack. The group’s statement included a warning to civil servants and their family members to leave government offices and housing for their own safety.
