Since then, junta man Major-General Zaw Min Tun has twice says he denied deputy junta chief Soe Win was badly injured in those attacks. Last time Soe Win was seen in public was on April 3 when he visited the garrison town of Ba Htoo in southern Shan State.
At the time drone attacks, Soe Win was visiting Southeastern Command oversee counter offensive to retake Myawaddy Town near Myanmar-Thai border from Karen resistance forces.
