Breaking: Cambodian Troops Fire 11 Rounds Along Or Samet Border; Thai Forces Issue 2 Warning Shots After Discovering Foreign National Near Barbed Wire. Officers Maintain Heightened 24-Hour Surveillance At 18:40 on May 13, 2569, the Second Army Region received a report from Surin Nari forces that Cambodian soldiers used firearms to shoot along the Or Samet area, totaling 11 rounds at multiple locations during dusk while weather conditions were overcast with heavy rain. The report indicates that the shooting originated from Hill 278 east of Chong Jom, before continuing southward along the eastern market side of the road leading into the Or Samet area, with approximately 1-2 rounds fired at each location for a total of 11 rounds. Heavy rain fell shortly after the incident, and no further movements from the Cambodian side have been detected at this time. Earlier that same day, around 09:00, officers discovered a foreign national, appearing to be Western, of unknown nationality, approaching the barbed wire fence area along the Or Samet entrance road. Officers then fired 2 warning shots in accordance with security protocols to prevent territorial intrusion and avoid potential misunderstandings that could affect border security. Security assessment indicates that the Cambodian shooting appears to be a "range-checking" probe, with the overall situation remaining under control. Thai forces continue to maintain heightened surveillance around the clock.
