NIA Links US and Ukrainian Nationals to Drone Attack on Myanmar Civilian Aircraft
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has informed a Delhi court that seven foreign nationals—six Ukrainians and one American, Matthew Aaron VanDyke—arrested in March for alleged terror activities in India, are linked to a drone attack on a civilian aircraft in Myanmar. The group reportedly entered India on tourist visas, traveled to Mizoram without required permits, and crossed into Myanmar to train Myanmar-based Ethnic Armed Groups in drone warfare. The court has permitted the NIA to interrogate two accused held in Tihar Jail as part of the ongoing investigation.
