Myanmar's second-busiest aviation hub, Mandalay Airport, was closed for two days following an attack by six "suicide drones." The incident, confirmed by security sources and the military-backed government, resulted in no reported casualties but caused significant disruptions to flight schedules.

While operating primarily as a major civilian airport, the facility's runway is also utilized by military jets to conduct sorties, according to air raid monitors. Pro-democracy rebels have been accused by the military-backed government of carrying out the drone strike.
