After the ceasefire deadline set by Anwar, clashes between both sides were still observed in the Chong An Ma area but occurred less frequently than before. Continuous vigilance remains.
At 10:00 PM, reporters noted the ceasefire deadline called by Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, in his capacity as ASEAN chair, urging Thailand and Cambodia to immediately stop fighting along the border by this local time today. ASEAN observer teams are being deployed to verify the situation on the ground, while U.S. government satellite data is being used to monitor compliance with the ceasefire agreement.
Subsequently, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul stated that no discussions on this matter have occurred yet and urged the public to listen to information provided twice daily by the military. He cautioned against relying on other sources as justification and added that any acceptance or actions require prior sincere and clear discussion about stopping clashes and harm between the parties.
Reporters described the atmosphere at various locations, noting that in Phanom Dong Rak district, Surin province, after 10:01 PM, there were no sounds of artillery, explosions, or small arms fire from either side responding to each other. The fighting had quieted since after 9 PM, and observers remain attentive to whether either side will resume fire.
Meanwhile, at Chong An Ma in Ubon Ratchathani, after Thai troops secured Hill 677 and Hill 500 in the area, fighting was still occurring intermittently after 10 PM but less frequently than before.
At 10:30 PM, reports emerged of kamikaze drones on the front lines in Trat province. Authorities urged residents to turn off their house lights and to immediately seek shelter if low-flying unmanned aerial vehicles are spotted.
Nevertheless, the situation requires continued close monitoring.
