Within the week, there were more than 25 drone bomb attacks and over 87 heavy artillery shelling incidents, the statement said.

The majority of airstrikes and artillery attacks were reported on the Bhamaw battlefront.

In addition, tensions remain high as the military council continues not only ground offensives but also aerial attacks using drones and heavy weapons.
