Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, if he will make an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of drone attacks on the Myanmar military in Naypyidaw.

We are monitoring the escalation of the conflict in Myanmar closely, including the recent drone attacks on Nay Pyi Taw. We are concerned by rising atrocity risks and humanitarian need across the country. We are working to ensure our humanitarian assistance reaches the most vulnerable with over 18.6 million now in need and over 2.7 million displaced. Since the 2021 military coup, the UK has provided almost £150 million in life-saving humanitarian assistance, emergency healthcare and education support, and work to support civil society and local communities across Myanmar.
