Air space violations may lead to disastersThe Burmese Eastern Region Military Commander has ordered all units stationed along the Thai border in Mae Hong Son to immediately shoot down any Thai aircraft which are found to be invading Burmese air space.
The order was issued following a meeting between Thai officials and Burmese military leaders during which a petition was handed to Thai officials concerning Thailand’s night use of unmanned spy drones which had allegedly been penetrating 80 km into Burmese air space between February and April this year. Officials at the meeting had earlier discussed the many deaths of Burmese workers who were attempting to enter Thailand illegally.
Subsequently, a source at Mae Hong Son Airport’s flight communications department reiterated that no Thai aircraft had entered Burmese air space, and an official from the National Security News Agency stated that Burma had not yet acted on Thailand’s recent complaint that Burmese aircraft had been carrying out spying missions in Thai air space around Ban Pang Tong in Mae Hong Son two weeks previously. On receipt of the complaint, Burma had denied that it had carried out the missions.
