Thai Army monitors Myanmar and Cambodia border situations
The Royal Thai Army has clarified that ongoing fighting along the western border with Myanmar is an internal conflict between the Myanmar military and various armed groups, rather than a conflict involving Thailand. To ensure public safety, the Ratchamanu Special Task Force has increased 24-hour patrols in the Mae Sot district of Tak province. In instances where stray projectiles have entered Thai territory, authorities have issued warning shots according to rules of engagement and coordinated with Myanmar through bilateral mechanisms to prevent civilian impact.
Regarding the eastern border with Cambodia, the situation is currently classified as being under surveillance by the Joint Information Center (JIC). Thai military units are instructed to follow established rules of engagement and utilize local military coordination mechanisms to resolve any inappropriate movements.
Army Commander-in-Chief General Pana Klaewplodtuk and Third Army Region Commander Lieutenant General Worathep Boonyaya have conducted field inspections to ensure personnel and equipment readiness and to update operational plans for all potential scenarios.
