Approximately 19 cadres were reportedly injured.

2. 779 Camp at Waktham Basti (ULFA-I)

🛑 Government & Official Response

The Indian Army has officially denied any such operation, stating there is “no information” about drone strikes inside Myanmar.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma clarified that neither Assam Police nor Indian Army units operating in the state were involved.

Myanmar government has not issued any statement so far.

📢 ULFA-I’s Claim

ULFA-I issued a statement confirming:

Drone attacks on their camps in Myanmar.

The death of senior leader Nayan Asom.

Ongoing injuries and damages to infrastructure.

These claims, however, remain unverified by neutral or official sources.

⚔️ Context: Why Now?

Both ULFA-I and NSCN-K have long used Myanmar territory as safe havens to regroup and launch attacks into India, especially in Assam, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, and Manipur.

India has previously conducted:

Cross-border strikes in 2015 after the Manipur ambush.

Joint counter-insurgency ops with Myanmar (Operation Sunrise in 2019).

This alleged drone operation would represent a new level of precision warfare, relying heavily on drone technology to neutralize insurgents without deploying boots on the ground.

🤔 What's Next?

While the full picture is still emerging, this event—if verified—would mark one of India’s largest drone-based military strikes in recent years. It also raises key questions:

Will India formally acknowledge the operation?

How will Myanmar respond?

What will be the impact on ULFA-I’s leadership and activities?

Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
