The attack successfully struck the targets, killing no fewer than 20 junta soldiers and leaving many more injured. The casualties were transported away by military ambulances.
Additionally, among a military convoy of 90 supply trucks en route from Pakokku to LIB-13, several vehicles were damaged by the strikes. Vehicles that remained operational were driven through the night towards Kyaukpadaung in southern Chin State to unload supplies.
On the same night, eight short-range missiles were fired at IB-416 in Sale. While two missiles failed, six struck their intended targets, killing 15 junta soldiers and injuring many more, according to a Pa Ka Pha Drone Unit officer.
In total, the two coordinated attacks resulted in 35 junta soldiers killed and over 70 casualties, including the wounded. The bodies of the dead were secretly buried overnight, locals reported.

September 6
The Kanbauk Defense Force (KBDF) reported that five junta soldiers were killed when resistance forces ambushed a junta column marching out of Se Eain Su Village in Yephyu Township, Tanintharyi Region.
The clash occurred on August 29 at 9:30 a.m., when revolutionary forces encountered the junta column patrolling from Se Eain Su. The battle lasted about half an hour, leaving five junta soldiers dead and one resistance fighter injured, according to KBDF.
After the clash, the junta column reinforced itself with two armored vehicles mounted with Point-5 machine guns and advanced into Se Eain Su and Taung Yinn Inn villages. They set fire to houses, destroyed property, and looted civilian belongings using military trucks.
During the raid on Taung Yinn Inn village, the junta forces also arrested and executed two displaced villagers, locals reported. As a result, villagers from Taung Yinn Inn, Pharchaung, and Se Eain Su have been forced to remain in displacement until now.
The operation was conducted by multiple allied groups: Dan Column-3 (KBDF), Dan Column-6 (Weihing Force), Dan Column-7 (LPF), Buthidaung Army (BHA), Yephyu Pa Ka Pha, Naga Nyi Pyaung Kyarr Force, Dawei District People’s Defense Force (DDPDF), Zinyaung Force, Ramanaya Mon Army (RMA), and KNLA Brigade 6, Battalion 27.
Just a day earlier, on August 28, another clash broke out near Se Eain Su village, where no fewer than 30 junta soldiers were killed. In that battle, one resistance fighter sacrificed his life heroically.

🚩🚩 3. Junta Plants Landmines on Public Roads in Ayadaw Township
September 6
According to the Monywa Information Team, junta forces planted landmines along public roads in Ayadaw Township, Sagaing Region.
On September 5, members of the People’s Defense Forces discovered landmines placed by junta troops on the road between Kanphyu Village and Manoyama Village.
A junta column had earlier marched out of Ayadaw on August 14, stationed itself in Kanphyu, launched operations in surrounding villages, and returned to Ayadaw on August 18. Locals believe the mines were planted during the withdrawal to deliberately harm civilians.
The mines were later cleared by PDF units.
Resistance forces warned civilians not to rush to travel on roads immediately after junta columns retreat, as planting of landmines on public routes has become a recurring tactic.

🚩🚩 4. Junta Soldiers Abandon Weapons and Ammunition After Two-Hour Clash in Ngaphe Township
September 6
The Arakan Army (AA) reported that junta troops fled, leaving behind weapons, ammunition, and equipment, after a fierce two-hour battle near Swun Tat Village in Ngaphe Township, Magway Region, on September 4 at around 12:00 noon.
The clash occurred about 2,800 meters northeast of Swun Tat Village, where combined junta forces from IB-574 under Division 17 and Construction Engineering Battalion 944 encountered the AA.
After suffering casualties and injuries, junta soldiers abandoned a large cache of weapons, ammunition, military supplies, and backpacks before retreating.
The AA noted that although the junta still relies on airstrikes, naval firepower, advanced drones, and sheer troop numbers, it has faced repeated defeats since launching offensives in March this year to recapture resistance-held territories.
Division 17 and Division 14 have also been forcibly conscripting new recruits, including recently trained cadets, and deploying about 1,500 additional troops to the Bago-Rakhine border region. Heavy fighting is ongoing in these areas.
The AA further stated that the junta is struggling to reclaim lost territory in Ayeyarwady-Rakhine border areas and Magway-Rakhine border areas, suffering heavy losses under coordinated AA counteroffensives.
The AA recalled that in the February 4 battle in Gotseeyoe area of Magway, the AA captured 17 junta officers, including 46-year-old Lt. Col. Kyaw Kyaw Thet, acting chief strategist of Strategy Unit-992 under Light Infantry Division 99.
