Check Risk Areas for PHL-03 Threats and How to Prepare

Amid escalating clashes along the Thai-Cambodian border, recent reports indicate Cambodia may deploy the PHL-03, a large multiple rocket launcher system with a range of up to 130 kilometers. This expands the danger zone beyond the border line to include major cities and economic areas across several Thai provinces, leading to broad surveillance area declarations.

Impact zones (divided by region)

1. Southern Isan zone: Highest level surveillance area

• Covers all districts of four main provinces and parts of neighboring provinces: Ubon Ratchathani, Sisaket, Surin, and Buriram.

2. Eastern zone: Fragile economic corridor

• Affects key trade routes and important marine tourist destinations, including Sa Kaeo, Chanthaburi, and Trat (including Koh Chang and Koh Kood).

3. Newly influenced zone: Inner areas no longer safe

• Rocket range reaches inner areas of the country, such as lower Nakhon Ratchasima, Yasothon, Roi Et, and Maha Sarakham.

Recommendations for the public

• Listen to announcements from security agencies and do not believe unverified rumors.
• Prepare an emergency survival kit containing important documents, medicines, and essential supplies.
• Avoid unnecessary travel near border areas and high-risk routes as announced.
