Authorities have raised the alert level to the highest level and are requesting that those not involved avoid Route 224 between Phanom Dong Rak and Kap Choeng for their safety. Currently, there are no reports of damage, and investigations are underway.
In Trat province, Cambodia fired artillery shells across the border from Ban Sam Lang, landing on the roadside in the village. The shells exploded, creating a crater next to a banana tree. No houses were damaged and no civilians were injured as villagers had already evacuated. A warning has been issued to passersby to exercise caution as both sides are still exchanging fire, having paused around noon. Another round of exchanges is expected in the afternoon.
