The update, reflecting the situation as of 2 p.m. Sunday, did not specify the nature of the observed movements but emphasized that security protocols remain in place. The border region has been on high alert following recent clashes, including Cambodian rocket attacks that have displaced thousands of Thai civilians.

As of Sunday, 495 shelters remain operational, housing 100,270 evacuees forced to flee their homes due to hostilities. Members of the royal family, alongside government agencies, continue to provide support, including fresh meals, medical care, essential supplies, and recreational activities for displaced families.

In areas struck by Cambodian rocket fire, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams have been deployed to clear hazardous remnants. The Second Army Region confirmed that 17 out of 63 affected locations have been cleared of unexploded munitions, with efforts ongoing to secure remaining zones.

In a related development, His Majesty the King has directed government agencies, including the military, to expedite rehabilitation efforts for properties damaged in the clashes. Assistance is also being extended to the families of fallen soldiers.

One such initiative includes the construction of a new home for the family of Private First Class Theerayut Krachangthong, a 22-year-old soldier recently killed in a skirmish at the Tahong 2 base in Si Sa Ket’s Kantharalak district. The soldier’s family, residing in a dilapidated shack without electricity or running water in Buri Ram’s Lahan Sai district, will now receive proper housing as part of the royal-supported relief efforts.
