KNU and PDF terrorists carried out a drone-delivered bomb attack near Kopanaw Village in Kyaikmaraw Township on 2 September, resulting in injuries to 11 civilians.

According to reports, the attack was intended to undermine national stability and the rule of law, create fear among the local population, and endanger travellers. The terrorists have been actively sabotaging roads and bridges, attacking departmental offices, and firing improvised rockets and heavy weapons into residential areas and villages. Civilian vehicles, including passenger buses and trucks, have also been targeted, and evidence of mine-laying has been observed in the area.

On 2 September at approximately 5:30 pm, the terrorists dropped a bomb via drone onto a passenger vehicle near the Kopanaw junction in Kyaikmaraw Township. The explosion struck a Super Custom vehicle (licence plate number 9H/…), driven by 52-year-old U Hla Shwe, injuring nine male and two female passengers.

The injured were immediately transported to Kyaikmaraw General Hospital, where they are receiving medical treatment. Security forces have increased their presence and are taking all necessary measures to ensure public safety and prevent further incidents in the area.
