1. Video released of FPV drone attack on Tada-U Air Base; two YAK-130 fighter jets reportedly destroyed
m.CDM, September 11
Myingyan District Drone Strike (MDDS) has released video footage of what it described as a special operation using FPV drones against the military-controlled Tada-U Air Base in Mandalay Region.
The attack reportedly took place at around 1:30 p.m. on September 10 and involved MDDS, Drone Unit No. 1848 under the NUG Ministry of Defense, Myingyan District Battalions 4 and 10, Shwebo District Commands 1 and 2, and other allied resistance forces.
According to the resistance, the drones precisely targeted areas where YAK-130 fighter aircraft were parked. Four aircraft were reportedly hit, with two said to have been completely destroyed.
At the same time, fighting broke out near Ale Ywar in Tada-U Township between a junta patrol of around 40 troops and combined resistance forces from Myingyan, Kyaukse and Mandalay districts, along with local People’s Defense Teams and the STF.
At around 3:10 p.m., junta forces reportedly used an Mi-35 attack helicopter to strike Bu Yauk and Ale villages. About 15 minutes later, three gyrocopters were also used in further air attacks.
The PDF said five junta personnel were killed in the fighting, including Lieutenant Colonel Myo Hlaing Oo, an acting tactical commander from Air Defense Unit No. 7.
Three resistance fighters were also killed. The resistance forces said they successfully withdrew at around 4:30 p.m.
The junta has denied suffering damage and has portrayed the incident as an attack on the civilian airport rather than the military air base. It also claimed the attacking FPV drones were brought under control.
The PDF said it would continue stepping up attacks on key military command centers, including air bases.
2. KIA and allied forces launch further drone attacks on military vessels in Bhamo
m.CDM, September 11
Kachin Independence Army (KIA) forces and their allies have reportedly carried out additional drone attacks against military vessels docked in Bhamo, Kachin State.
Local military sources released footage showing a drone striking one vessel moored on the riverbank and another drone pursuing a military speedboat on the Ayeyarwady River.
In the footage, the first drone explodes beside the speeding boat. After the boat moves toward the riverbank, another drone reportedly strikes it again, causing visible damage.
One local source commented on social media that if even fast-moving small boats could not escape the drones, larger vessels would be even more vulnerable.
The TNISO, a group that monitors and verifies human-rights abuses and war crimes, described the incident as a “game of chase on the Ayeyarwady.”
According to TNISO, at least two one-way attack drones were used against the speedboat, and one appeared to score a direct hit. Although the exact date could not be independently verified, TNISO said it confirmed that the incident occurred near Antaw Pagoda in Shwegu Township.
At the end of August, the junta sent an initial flotilla of 15 vessels, including military ships, toward Bhamo to reinforce its forces there. KIA-led forces reportedly destroyed or sank most of the vessels.
During the second week of September, another six-vessel military convoy entering Kachin State was also attacked, and two vessels were reportedly set on fire and destroyed.
Military records cited in the report indicate that KIA and allied forces have destroyed a total of 14 vessels from the two convoys within about two weeks.
3. Two civilians killed in junta airstrikes in Gwa and Ponnagyun; homes burned in Kyaukpadaung and Thegon
m.CDM, September 11
Two civilians were reportedly killed after junta forces carried out drone and fighter-jet attacks in Gwa and Ponnagyun townships in Rakhine State.
At around 2 a.m. on September 11, an FPV drone reportedly struck Kyauksaik village in Ponnagyun Township, killing 63-year-old Daw Hla Than Yi, who had been displaced by fighting.
On the night of September 10, junta fighter jets reportedly bombed Kyeintali in Gwa Township twice, killing 81-year-old U Kyaw Khine and seriously injuring another man.
On September 7, three elderly civilians in Pauktaw Township also reportedly died from cardiac arrest after being frightened by repeated artillery fire.
Meanwhile, in Kyaukpadaung Township, Mandalay Region, junta columns have reportedly continued raiding villages and burning civilian homes.
On September 10, troops allegedly set fire to homes in Kaba Teik North and Laeti villages. On September 11, the same force reportedly entered Sin Myint village and continued destroying houses.
During an earlier raid on Sai Khaung village, the same military column was accused of gang-raping a woman with a mental-health condition before mutilating and killing her. Other detained married women were also reportedly sexually assaulted.
In Thegon Township, Bago Region, junta troops reportedly raided Yonbin Tet village on September 7 and burned around 10 homes.
Residents from more than 10 villages have reportedly fled because of the raids, while junta troops have been accused of looting civilian property.
4. Lieutenant colonel among junta casualties in Launglon; fighting intensifies along Rakhine-Ayeyarwady border
m.CDM, September 11
Resistance forces reportedly inflicted heavy casualties on a junta column advancing through Launglon Township in Tanintharyi Region, killing several soldiers, including Lieutenant Colonel Kyaw Phyo Aung.
The junta column, numbering more than 100 troops, began its offensive on September 7. Resistance forces said they attacked the column with 36 drone-dropped bombs around Pyin Htein and Wedi villages through September 9.
Further clashes broke out on the morning of September 10 after the junta column moved out of Wedi village. Two resistance fighters were reportedly lightly wounded.
During subsequent area-clearance operations, resistance forces said they found the body of Lieutenant Colonel Kyaw Phyo Aung.
Resistance groups warned local residents to remain alert because the junta may send additional reinforcements.
Separately, junta forces are reportedly conducting major offensives from three locations along the Rakhine-Ayeyarwady border in an attempt to advance into Rakhine State.
Large numbers of troops have reportedly advanced simultaneously from Laymyethna, Thabaung Kalay village and Artillery Battalion 344 northwest of Ngathaingchaung, resulting in heavy clashes with the Arakan Army (AA).
The AA has reportedly counterattacked and captured three small junta outposts in the Laymyethna area.
Since September 4, the junta has reportedly been conducting a coordinated land, naval and air offensive against AA-controlled territory under an operation called “4926,” while also expanding ground offensives from border areas of Ayeyarwady, Bago and Magway regions.
5. Political prisoners at Thayawady Prison reportedly tortured after submitting formal requests
m.CDM, September 11
Prison authorities at Thayawady Central Prison in Bago Region have been accused of torturing political prisoners after inmates formally requested improvements to prison conditions.
Sources close to the prison said Deputy Prison Warden Aye Min and dormitory officer Thein Tin Oo have been responsible for the mistreatment.
On August 17, prisoners in Men’s Ward No. 4 reportedly submitted formal requests through official prison channels concerning their basic needs.
Authorities allegedly retaliated by forcing prisoners to sit in punishment positions from 2 a.m. until 6 a.m., and again at around 4 p.m.
This treatment reportedly continued twice a day for more than 10 days, through September 3.
Political prisoners were also allegedly insulted, pressured and forced to perform unjustified tasks.
Thayawady Prison has been described as one of the prisons with the highest levels of human-rights abuses against political detainees. Sources say authorities often retaliate more severely when information about prison conditions reaches the outside world.
According to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), 31,907 political prisoners are currently being held in prisons controlled by the junta, with some deaths linked to torture and lack of adequate medical treatment.
6. Forced recruitment reported in Mayangone, Minbu and Yesagyo
m.CDM, September 11
Junta forces and Pyu Saw Htee members are reportedly using charity ambulances and large trucks to detain young people for forced recruitment in Yangon and Magway regions.
In Mayangone Township, Yangon, Ward No. 1 administrator Sein Win Myint and Pyu Saw Htee members have reportedly used charity ambulances to seize young men near Bayint Naung Junction and Yankin Pagoda.
At around 7 p.m. on September 10, witnesses said three young men returning home from work near Yankin Pagoda were beaten and detained before being taken away in a vehicle belonging to the Myat Kutho charity organization.
Young security workers employed at massage businesses around Bayint Naung Junction were also reportedly detained.
Residents said arrests have continued near the entrance to Kan Kaw Road in Ward No. 1. Even some people who had already paid monthly military-service fees were reportedly taken away.
In Minbu Township, Magway Region, a father and son traveling to visit the man’s hospitalized daughter were reportedly beaten and detained at Phalan Taw Junction.
The pair, arrested on September 3, are now believed to be held separately at Minbu and Pwintbyu police stations. Their family has reportedly been unable to secure their release even after offering money.
In Yesagyo Township at around 1 p.m. on September 11, around 50 junta troops reportedly arrived in two 10-wheel trucks and detained young people near the football field in Pekon village.
Residents said this was the first time they had seen forced recruitment conducted on such a large scale using heavy trucks.
With military conscription Batch 28 now underway in September, reports indicate that forced recruitment operations are continuing in Yangon, Mandalay and other areas.
7. Mandalay International Airport closed; international flights temporarily suspended, MAI says
m.CDM, September 11
Myanmar Airways International (MAI) announced on the evening of September 10 that international flights to and from Mandalay International Airport would be temporarily suspended following the drone attack on military aircraft at Tada-U Air Base.
MAI said all international flights arriving at or departing from Mandalay would be suspended until further notice due to “operational circumstances.”
The announcement came after resistance forces attacked areas where military aircraft were parked at Tada-U Air Base earlier that day.
During the suspension, domestic flights operated by MAI and Mingalar Aviation from Mandalay will reportedly be transferred to Anisakan Airport near Pyin Oo Lwin.
Affected passengers may request full refunds or make one free change to their itinerary, subject to seat availability.
Passengers who purchased tickets through travel agencies or online agents were advised to contact those companies directly.
MAI apologized for the disruption and said further updates would be announced through its official channels.
8. PDF provides assistance to rebuild homes destroyed by fire in Pakokku District
m.CDM, September 11

Under a reconstruction program for fire-affected villages, public donations totaling 8.4 million kyat were collected.
A village with abundant timber resources also donated two truckloads of timber, including several types of hardwood, for rebuilding.
Battalion 6 said the reconstruction project was launched because some of the destroyed homes belonged to resistance members and their parents.
The program also received support from the National Unity Government, and all available assistance was distributed among affected residents.
The PDF said that while junta forces continue carrying out airstrikes, killings and arson attacks against civilian communities, resistance forces are working to protect and assist local residents.

m.CDM, September 11
The Karen National Union (KNU) said it has publicly destroyed seized narcotics in Dooplaya District, including more than 100,000 stimulant tablets.
The drugs were burned on September 9 during an event marking the 35th anniversary of Karen National Police Force Day.
