A drone attack reportedly disrupted flight operations at Mandalay's Tada-U International Airport in Myanmar, according to Myanmar Airways International, a major domestic airline. The airline announced on its Facebook page that all international flights to and from the airport had been temporarily suspended, and domestic flights were being redirected to a nearby airport for "operational reasons." According to an unnamed official from the airline's Bangkok office, flights to Mandalay on September 11 and 12 were canceled due to the airport closure. State-run media, Global New Light of Myanmar, reported that security forces successfully prevented an attack by the People's Defence Force, a pro-democracy militant group. The newspaper said the group had launched six first-person-view suicide drones at the airport, which are remote-controlled devices designed to be used in attacks. Although the attack caused some disruption to domestic flights, no casualties or damage to vehicles or runways were reported. Local media suggested that the resistance forces were specifically targeting military jet fighters stationed at the airport. Reuters was unable to independently confirm the details of the incident. The situation in Myanmar has remained volatile since a military coup in February 2021, which removed Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government and triggered widespread resistance. The conflict has escalated into a civil war between the military and various ethnic armed groups, as well as pro-democracy militias. In April, Min Aung Hlaing, the former head of Myanmar’s military junta, was elected president by a parliament backed by the military, marking the consolidation of his power after five years of rule. The ongoing conflict continues to impact both civilian life and infrastructure, including critical facilities like airports, which are now frequently targeted in the escalating violence.
