Hi, I'm Viyu. Ask me about the stories collected here. I answer only from them, with numbered links to the outlets that published them, and I say so when they do not cover it.
A third shipment of military drones arrived at Gan International Airport in Addu Atoll as the government prepares a drone base in the south of the country. Sources say the Maldives National Defence Force bought three Bayraktar Akıncı drones and a ground control unit in a deal worth around US$37 million, funded from the state contingency budget, though no official details have been released.
