Myanmar’s second-busiest airport was closed for two days on Friday, security sources told AFP, a day after the military-backed government accused pro-democracy rebels of attacking it with drones.
“Mandalay airport is closed for today and tomorrow,” a security source told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk to the media.
A second security officer working at another Myanmar airport, also requesting anonymity, confirmed the Mandalay facility would be “closed for maintenance” until Sunday.
