Cambodian Crowd Gathers As Withdrawal Deadline Expires

Bangkok: The Thai-Cambodian border remains a focus of concern after the October 10 deadline for settlers to withdraw from the Ban Nong Chan area passed. Unusual movements were detected on the Cambodian side when the Burapha Task Force deployed drones over the Nong Ya Kaew area. Surveillance revealed a large gathering of Cambodian nationals-including military personnel, civilians, and Buddhist monks-converging near the border fence.

According to Thai News Agency, Thai authorities, who describe the area as a flashpoint for frequent encroachment, are monitoring the situation closely. Following the drone intelligence, the Burapha Task Force immediately dispatched rapid-response units to the frontline and increased patrols to prepare for any emergency.
