Mae Sot:Authorities have tightened security along the Thai-Myanmar border and urged residents to closely monitor news updates.

According to Thai News Agency, fighting between the Myanmar military and Karen resistance forces along the Thai border has prompted security agencies in Mae Sot district to patrol the area to prevent and respond to any unrest. Meanwhile, in Phop Phra district, the Royal Thai Air Force deployed two F-16 fighter jets to intercept Myanmar military aircraft flying near the border.

On the Thai-Myanmar border in Mae Sot District, Tak Province, troops from the Rajamanu Task Force, along with border patrol officers, Mae Sot police, and local administrative officials, are patrolling the area, particularly in four high-risk villages in Mahawan Subdistrict, Mae Sot District. They are monitoring the ongoing fighting between the Myanmar military and Karen resistance in Myawaddy Province, Myanmar, where intermittent gunfire is occurring. However, there are no reports of any impact on Thai civilians inland. Officials urge residents in border areas to remain vigilant and closely follow news updates from government agencies, as the fighting is expected to continue for some time.

While villagers in Ban Huai Maha Wong are rushing to build barricades to protect against stray bullets crossing the border, residents living along the Moei River on the Thai-Myanmar border, whose homes have been repeatedly riddled with bullet holes from fighting in Myanmar, have requested a large quantity of used tires to reinforce their fences with a mixture of cement and sand. Meanwhile, government volunteers are assisting in repairing homes affected by the fighting in Myanmar to alleviate hardship and restore the residents' livelihoods.
