Assumption College has issued a warning about unauthorized individuals impersonating students by wearing counterfeit school uniforms and fake student ID numbers, who have entered the campus multiple times and posted misleading content on social media. On July 23, 2025, the school's official Facebook page posted an alert warning of the suspicious behavior of fake Assumption College students. The school discovered that outsiders dressed in Assumption College student uniforms, wearing forged student identification cards, and falsely claiming to be students have repeatedly entered the school premises without authorization.

Such behavior poses a potential security risk and may compromise the safety of students and school staff. The observed behaviors include: wearing imitation Assumption College student uniforms, displaying fake student ID numbers, falsely claiming to be school students, entering the school campus multiple times without permission, and posting photos and content on social media that misleads the public. The school advises all educational institutions to: increase scrutiny when checking individuals entering and leaving the campus, verify identity and authorization for campus access, deny entry to unauthorized persons, immediately alert security personnel or school administrators of any suspicious activity, and contact local police to take legal action immediately if any suspicious behavior or potential criminal activity is discovered.

Police officer fires more than 10 shots at colleague in ChachoengsaoLegacyA highway police officer allegedly fired more than 10 rounds at a fellow officer in Chachoengsao today, July 23, leaving the victim seriously injured after an alleged dispute over work. Police and rescue workers were called to the Bang Khla Highway Police Public Service Unit in Bang Khla district after receiving reports of a shooting. At the scene, they found Police Sub-Lieutenant Yutthaphong lying in the parking area with gunshot wounds below the chest, to the left arm and to the hip, with bullets lodged in his body. Despite his injuries, he remained conscious and was able to respond to rescuers before being transferred to a hospital. Investigators said Police Senior Sergeant Major Phitsanu, the accused, remained at the scene after the shooting and waited to surrender.

Yutthaphong was the supervisor of the service point, while Phitsanu had started his scheduled rotation at the unit that day. According to police, both men had earlier attended a meal with more than 10 fellow police officers at a restaurant in Plaeng Yao district. Investigators said the pair began arguing over a work-related issue while at the restaurant. Photo via Khaosod Police said the disagreement continued after the two officers returned to the service unit. It then escalated outside the building, where Phitsanu allegedly used a 9mm handgun to fire more than 10 rounds, seriously injuring Yutthaphong. A witness told police she heard what sounded like an argument before several gunshots rang out. She looked outside through a window and saw Phitsanu and Yutthaphong at the scene. Khaosod reported that police will collect evidence and interview witnesses before proceeding with legal action.

President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that the United States will destroy Iranian bridges or power plants every time Iran fires on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Reuters reporting on July 23. The threat follows warnings from the Houthi group, an Iran-aligned armed faction in Yemen, that it will block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a critical southern Red Sea energy corridor between Yemen and the Horn of Africa. Seven tankers have already rerouted through the Red Sea to avoid the strait since Tuesday's Houthi threat to blockade Saudi Arabian oil exports, adding fresh risk to global oil supply amid escalating regional tensions.

Iranian military sources reportedly vow to retaliate against Trump's threats by destroying infrastructure across Middle Eastern nations. Iran's near-total control of the Hormuz Strait, combined with Houthi threats near Bab el-Mandeb, has triggered global inflation concerns and new shipping risks, pushing crude prices to six-week highs above $95 per barrel before settling around $93.

In recent days, U.S. airstrikes have expanded from southern Iran to western and central regions, while Iran has struck critical freshwater and power plants in Kuwait this week and also targeted U.S. military installations in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Brigadier General Amir Hatami, commander of Iran's ground forces, stated that Iran is reinforcing military capabilities to counter treaty violations. Iranian media quoted Hassan Kachkavi, spokesman for Iran's parliament national security and foreign policy committee, saying Trump is caught in an impossible situation.

Iranian health ministry officials disclosed 53 civilian deaths and 592 injuries since late June, while the U.S. military insists it has not targeted civilians. The conflict has resulted in 18 American military deaths and over 450 wounded. President Trump attended a ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Wednesday honoring four American service members killed in recent Iranian attacks—three in Jordan and one in Iraq. Trump stated it was among the hardest duties of his presidency.

An unusual natural phenomenon at Khong Khao Khat earthen dam in Tha Pla District, Uttaradit Province, has emerged following a drop in Siriki Reservoir water levels to 141 meters—about 31 percent capacity, or approximately 4,928 million cubic meters. A distinctive landform resembling a woman's face has become visible on the dam, featuring what appears to be a nose, long hair, and a gentle smile, earning it the nickname "Miss Tha Pla Earthen Dam."

Nai Danai U-Sap, chairman of the Tha Pla District Cultural Council, explained that this rare formation results from a natural balance between incoming water (approximately 20 million cubic meters daily) and the terrain at that specific location. The phenomenon is unprecedented in the 50 years since Siriki Dam's construction in 1968, when the main dam began operation as one of the region's largest earthen dams, capable of storing 9,510 million cubic meters of water. The smaller Khong Khao Khat dam, located in Chrim Subdistrict about 30 kilometers from Uttaradit city, has a crest spanning 5 kilometers.

Beyond its role as a water storage and supply facility for Tha Pla and Uttaradit city, the dam site has become an important tourist attraction. Officials note that the distinctive landform visible from elevated vantage points represents rare natural artistry, distinguishable only when water levels drop to this specific threshold. The surrounding area also offers scenic views framed by mountains and forests, making it suitable for relaxation, photography, and sunrise and sunset viewing.

Environment Minister Suchat Chomklin announced that Thailand has maintained conservation standards for UNESCO World Heritage Sites, confirming that no Thai heritage sites have been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage in Danger list. The results of the 48th ordinary meeting of the World Heritage Committee held on July 21-22, 2025, represent good news for Thailand, as no Thai sites were proposed for inclusion on the endangered list, reflecting the country's effective conservation and management of its World Heritage sites in accordance with the World Heritage Convention. Thailand is awaiting one more important decision in the coming three days regarding the registration of Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahaviharn in Nakhon Si Thammarat as a new World Heritage site, which would be Thailand's sixth cultural and ninth overall World Heritage site, and would make history as the first World Heritage site in southern Thailand.

Deputy Permanent Secretary Raviwan Puridej stated that Thailand's achievement in avoiding the endangered list resulted from policies prioritizing heritage conservation alongside sustainable development, supported by coordinated efforts across all relevant agencies. The Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning, as Thailand's focal point for the World Heritage Convention, has integrated cooperation with site management agencies and stakeholders to monitor and assess conservation status closely, ensuring alignment with international standards and preserving the Outstanding Universal Value of Thailand's World Heritage sites. At the 48th World Heritage Committee meeting, agenda item 7A addressed the conservation status of properties on the endangered list, and Thailand received positive results with no sites proposed for the list, demonstrating effective implementation of conservation obligations and continuous preservation of heritage values.
