- A paramotor bombing in Myanmar's Chaung U township killed at least 24 individuals during the Thadingyut festival celebration on October 8, 2025.
- The bombing targeted around 100 people, many of whom were protesting against the military government, which has been in power since a 2021 coup.

- Witnesses reported horrific scenes, describing dismembered bodies and the swift nature of the bombing attack, which left many victims difficult to identify.
