[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's State Counsellor, is reported to be in detention as of the 31st (local time), according to major foreign media. In addition to Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and senior ruling party officials are also believed to be detained.
This incident occurred amid rising tensions following the military's indication of possible military action after the ruling party's landslide victory in the general election held last November.
A spokesperson for Myanmar's ruling party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), stated, "The airstrike occurred early that morning," and added, "We cannot disclose the reasons or who detained Suu Kyi and the senior officials."
