- DVB, 2026-11-09: Reports that three regime gyrocopters carried out three attacks on Nyaungpinle village in Kani township on Saturday, killing at least eight civilians and wounding six, two of them critically. source

History
- 2026-11-10: Corroborated. Two independent Myanmar outlets report the attack with differing details; DVB gives at least eight dead without naming its source, while Myanmar Now cites the opposition National Unity Government for 11 dead including four children, so the higher figure rests on the NUG, and no military response is reported.
