Bangkok: The border situation in Ubon Ratchathani province remains tense as Cambodia continues its artillery and BM-21 rocket attacks on the Chong Bok and Chong An Ma areas, affecting the Nam Yuen and Nam Khun districts. Residents, who had previously returned to their homes, are being forced to evacuate for the third time. Many villagers remain in bunkers, awaiting the results of ongoing ceasefire negotiations. If a ceasefire is not achieved by this afternoon, further evacuations will be necessary. Local village defense volunteers and headmen are strategically positioned to assist the public and have issued warnings to ensure people stay in safe areas. For those seeking to evacuate, it is advised to remain at designated shelters for the time being.

According to Thai News Agency, in Rasi Salai District, Sisaket Province, the family of Private Nithikorn Somthum, also known as Private Tokyo, is anxiously monitoring his condition. Social media had prematurely identified him as the 27th soldier to die in the Battle of Ban Nong Chan, Sa Kaeo Province. However, his family received confirmation that Private Tokyo is still alive, with a pulse and responding to treatment. This news has provided a glimmer of hope, as the family gathers to pray for his recovery and safe return home.
