Human‑wave attacks and drones: How Myanmar’s junta is fighting back
For seven days, rebel fighter Khant and his comrades held the line as Myanmar’s military pounded their positions with artillery and drone strikes.Khant is a veteran of numerous battles against Myanmar’s junta since it seized power in a 2021 coup, but he had seen nothing like the intensity of the fighting in central Myanmar in October.The strikes were followed by wave after wave of infantry, according to Khant and Htike, a fellow rebel who was also present at the battle for Pazun Myaung, a village roughly halfway between Myanmar’s largest city and its political capital.
