BREAKING: Indian Army carries out drone strikes against ULFA-I terror camps inside Myanmar
Guwahati: In the dense jungles of Myanmar, a drone strike targeted a camp associated with the United Liberation Front of Assam (Independent), or ULFA(I), on January 8, as asserted by ULFA in a press release.
The camp, located in Myanmar, serves as one of several bases for cross-border operations into India, offering shelter and training facilities for recruits.
According to sources, ULFA(I), led by Paresh Baruah, alleges that the Indian Army executed the attacks. The drone assault occurred in the early hours, with the first strike reported at 4:10 AM, followed by a second at 4:12 AM, and a third attempt at 4:20 AM.
Originating from the border area of Arunachal Pradesh, the first two drones detonated, while the third failed to explode, resulting in injuries to two ULFA members.
Paresh Baruah, the commander-in-chief of ULFA(I), has consistently opposed peace talks with the Indian government, in contrast to other factions engaging in dialogue. The group’s survival has been sustained in part by external support, including ties to insurgent outfits in the Northeast and Myanmar.

The situation in Assam and the neighboring regions remains tense, with the Indian government persisting in efforts to engage insurgent groups through peace accords.
However, the presence of ULFA(I) in Myanmar and their demonstrated capacity to launch cross-border attacks highlight the enduring challenges in achieving lasting peace and security in the region.
As the conflict persists, the incident underscores the complex nature of addressing insurgencies with international dimensions and the need for nuanced diplomatic and security measures to ensure stability in the affected areas.
The repercussions of such actions reverberate not only within the borders of the countries involved but also across the broader geopolitical landscape.
