On March 13, 2026, India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested seven foreign nationals, including American Matthew VanDyke and six Ukrainians, for alleged conspiracy to commit terrorist activities. The group entered India on tourist visas and crossed into Myanmar illegally, intending to train ethnic armed groups in drone warfare and supply advanced weaponry.
The NIA invoked the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against them, securing remand from a Delhi court. VanDyke has a history of conflict engagement, with expertise in drone technology. The operation highlights vulnerabilities in border security and the potential for foreign mercenaries to impact India's internal stability.
