Bangkok: The situation in Sisaket remains tense, with residents panicking and evacuating. This morning, the Thai-Cambodian border near Phu Sing District in Sisaket Province witnessed increasing chaos. Villagers became alarmed after hearing artillery fire and feeling tremors across the region. The Thai military has implemented tight security measures to control the area.
According to Thai News Agency, people are swiftly evacuating from high-risk zones, hastily loading belongings into vehicles. Families are prioritizing the evacuation of children, the elderly, and the sick, moving towards government-designated evacuation centers and temporary shelters. This urgent movement has led to congestion on main and secondary roads, as well as village routes, with long convoys of evacuees.
Authorities have deployed police officers, administrative officials, and volunteers along the evacuation routes. Their presence is to manage traffic, direct vehicles, and ensure the security of evacuees, aligning with the evacuation and rear area protection plans of Phusing District to mitigate any risks to the local population.
