PLAN vessels conducted mine warfare exercise in disputed waters. EM-52 rocket-rising mine and Type 500 moored contact mine variants identified from commercial satellite imagery and AIS data analysis.
Two-week ceasefire announced 07 APR via Pakistan-mediated talks. Hours later Israel launched largest Lebanon strike since war began — 254+ killed in Beirut. Iran calls violation. Hezbollah resumes rocket fire day 41. Ceasefire holding between US-Iran but not Israel-Lebanon.
PDF forces across multiple states are producing standardized directional fragmentation devices using potassium chlorate mix and steel ball bearings. Design shared through encrypted messaging channels.
Major General Majid Khademi, head of IRGC intelligence organization, killed in joint US-Israeli airstrike on 06 APR. Highest-ranking IRGC officer killed since Soleimani. Strike occurred during ceasefire negotiations.
Recovered Houthi unmanned surface vessel near Bab el-Mandeb shows new dual-warhead design: shaped charge for hull breach + blast-frag follow-through charge. Iranian IRGC-N design influence assessed.
Myanmar resistance forces recovered unexploded 240mm rocket bodies matching DPRK M-1985 MRL system. First confirmed evidence of recent DPRK conventional arms transfer to Myanmar junta.
BRN-attributed IED attacks in Pattani continue to employ secondary devices targeting first responders. Primary: motorcycle VBIED with timer. Secondary: RCIED triggered by cell phone when responders arrive.
Ukrainian railway security reports 47% increase in rail-targeted IEDs in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Devices show consistent design: PMN-pattern pressure plate with enhanced main charge (PE-4 equivalent, 2-5kg).
ORDATA (CORD) published quarterly update adding 127 new entries focused on Pacific Theater WW2 legacy ordnance. Includes Japanese Type 99 variants and US MK series depth charges previously undocumented.
Coalition forces recovered Mohajer-6 UCAV wreckage from Red Sea surface debris field. Warhead payload was a Qaem-5 PGM — first confirmed maritime employment of this munition.
Philippine Navy EOD team recovered a Chinese Type 84 scatterable AT mine near Scarborough Shoal. Mine was inert/expended but presence raises questions about PLAN exercise debris or deliberate emplacement.
Indonesian counter-terrorism police (Densus 88) raided a JAD bomb-making lab in Surabaya. Seized 4 kg TATP, ball bearings, 9V batteries, and partially assembled suicide vest.
PDF forces in Sagaing Region documented first confirmed use of FPV drone-delivered improvised munitions against Tatmadaw positions. Design follows Ukraine-pattern: modified 40mm VOG-25 grenade with 3D-printed tail fin stabilizer.
Abu Sayyaf Group retains capability and intent for waterborne IED (WBIED) attacks against naval vessels and port infrastructure in the Sulu Sea. Last confirmed attempt: modified banca boat with ~50 kg explosive charge.
OSINT analysts identified the HSU-001 large UUV at Wuchang Shipbuilding via commercial satellite imagery. Submarine-launched, modular payload: ISR sensors, influence mine dispensers, or explosive warhead. 5-15 units estimated produced.
Iran began laying naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz around 10 MAR. IRGC published charts suggesting mined areas. 21 confirmed attacks on merchant ships. Strait effectively closed — 25% of global seaborne oil blocked. MCM operations urgently needed.
Russian nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed autonomous torpedo Poseidon has NOT achieved IOC. Carrier submarine Belgorod operational but Khabarovsk delayed. Assessed ~2 MT thermonuclear warhead, intercontinental range, 1,000m+ operating depth.
Iran launched 500+ ballistic missiles (Shahab-3, Emad, Kheibar Shekan, Sejjil) and 2,000+ Shahed drones at Israel and US bases across 6 Gulf states. By day 10, Iranian strike capacity dropped 90%. Massive UXO footprint across the region.
United States and Israel launched large-scale air strikes on Iran on 28 FEB 2026. Supreme Leader Khamenei killed in opening salvo. 850+ Tomahawk missiles fired, B-2s delivering GBU-57 bunker busters on hardened facilities. 13,000+ targets struck in first 38 days.
Houthis announced resumption of attacks on Israel and commercial shipping on 28 FEB, synchronized with Iran war. Now screening Bab el-Mandeb traffic by political identity — same model as Iran's Hormuz blockade. Suez traffic rerouted around Africa.
CSIC/Yunzhou displayed the JARI USV at Zhuhai Airshow with 4x anti-ship missile configuration. 15m trimaran hull, 35-42 kt, 500+ nm range. ASW variant with towed sonar array also shown. AI-assisted autonomous navigation confirmed.
Recovered Houthi USVs now feature electro-optical terminal seekers with onboard image processing, enabling autonomous final approach without operator input. This defeats coalition GPS jamming countermeasures.
Russian forces installed floating booms, nets, concrete barges, and dedicated small craft patrols at Sevastopol and Novorossiysk following devastating USV attacks. Fleet relocated eastward from Sevastopol.
Chinese firm Yunzhou Tech (OceanAlpha) demonstrated a 56-boat autonomous USV swarm with AI coordination. Confirmed PLAN supplier. Military adaptation for explosive-laden swarm attacks assessed as straightforward.
PRC's 88.5m Zhu Hai Yun autonomous mothership is operational, carrying 50+ autonomous platforms (UAVs, USVs, UUVs). Civilian-flagged but military adaptation assessed as straightforward. Dual-use concern.
Three crew members killed when Houthi weapons struck the bulk carrier M/V True Confidence in the Red Sea. First confirmed fatalities from the Houthi anti-shipping campaign. Combined USV/ASCM/UAV attack profile.
Multiple Magura V5 USVs attacked and sank the Sergey Kotov (Project 22160 patrol ship) near Crimea. Third confirmed warship kill by Ukrainian maritime drones. Swarm of 3-4 drones attacked from multiple bearings simultaneously.
SBU chief Malyuk confirmed the Sea Baby USV as the system used in the July 2023 Kerch Bridge attack. The heavy variant carries up to 850 kg of explosive — one of the largest warheads on any operational USV globally.
