#Myanmar (#Burma) ๐ฒ๐ฒ: Junta Forces targeted a village Mone Township in Nyaunglaybin, Bago Region.
Seemingly the attack was carried out with 57mm S-5 pattern rockets.
Judging by the fuze; #NorthKorea (#DPRK)-made ๐ฐ๐ต R-57 rockets with F-57 fuzes might have been used.
Unfortunately, there is no significant reference data available for most North Korean-made rockets...
However, the naming pattern and the characteristics increase the possibility that these were the North Korean copies of S-5 rockets.
