1. SS: According to CNN-News18, India launched the high-precision cross-border drone strike in Myanmar’s Sagaing Region between 2 AM and 4 AM IST on July 13, targeting insurgent camps deep inside the Naga Self-Administered Zone.

   The strikes reportedly hit key installations of United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA-I). Reports further said that self-styled Colonel of ULFA-I Ganesh Lahon alias Ganesh Axom was also killed in the drone attack.

   The group has confirmed three senior cadre deaths and over 19 injuries, and has declared India an aggressor, thus also vowing retaliation. The operation is believed to have used advanced Israeli and French-made combat UAVs in what is being seen as India’s first deployment of mass drone swarms for cross-border counter-insurgency.

2. South Africa are preparing an ICJ case for genocide as we speak /s

3. Good 👍

4. So now, everyone is bold enough to start war.

5. These kinds of operations have been done for [at least 10 years now](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Indian_counter-insurgency_operation_in_Myanmar), and most likely for a lot longer. The Government of Myanmar (both the previous Democratic one and the current Military junta) are happy to turn a blind eye, since these separatists are usually also the ones that are engaging in insurrection over there. And the common people don’t complain much either, since the separatist organisations in these areas usually make money through crime (all the way from drug smuggling and gun running to human trafficking), which makes them rather unpopular with the locals.
