A helicopter that was coming to bomb people in Myaing Township, Magway, was shot down by revolutionary groups. The helicopter that was shot down was also destroyed. The two pilots have not been found yet.
This is the second time that such a parachute has been dropped. The first time, it was dropped on the ground. On the full moon day of Thadingyut, a village near Monywa was bombed and a large number of people were killed while they were lighting a bonfire. If more parachutes were dropped, they would not have dared to take to the air.
