by VOA News

   An alliance of groups opposed to Myanmar's military rule said Thursday
   they targeted two military installations in a drone attack in the
   capital, Naypyitaw.

   The National Unity Government said in a statement the targets included
   military headquarters and an airbase.

   Agence France-Presse cited a statement from the junta saying it shot
   down seven drones.

   There was no immediate independent report on any damage or casualties.

   Some information for this report came from Agence France-Presse and
   Reuters.
