Thailand’s western border came under fire on Thursday as Burmese army troops launched a major offensive against Karen rebels, sending mortars and bullets into Thai villages. A 55-year-old woman was wounded, more than 20 homes were damaged, and a teenage boy narrowly escaped injury. The Royal Thai Army responded with warning shots towards Burma and reinforced its frontier positions. Meanwhile, over 200 furious villagers had demanded military protection just 48 hours earlier after repeated cross-border attacks. As heavy fighting and explosive drone strikes continued near the Moei River, Thai commanders maintained heightened security. The offensive is part of a wider Burmese military campaign to recapture territory held by Karen resistance forces.

The Royal Thai Army fired warning shots towards Burma on Thursday after fierce fighting struck Thai villages in Tak province. A 55-year-old Thai woman was wounded by mortar shrapnel, while more than 20 homes suffered damage.

Burmese government troops had launched a major offensive against Karen resistance forces immediately across the Moei River. Meanwhile, over 200 Thai residents had demanded stronger military protection just two days earlier.

Thai soldiers reinforced their positions as mortar rounds, bullets and explosive drones threatened communities along the frontier. By Thursday afternoon, fighting was continuing despite the Thai military’s warning fire.

Burmese infantry assault near the Moei River sends mortar rounds and bullets into Thai border villages

The confrontation began before dawn on October 29 near Min Let Pan village in Burma’s Myawaddy township. Government troops advanced against positions held by the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) and allied resistance fighters.

The KNLA is the armed wing of the Karen National Union (KNU), a longstanding opponent of Burmese military rule. Its forces have fought successive governments for greater autonomy in Karen State.

According to Thai reports, Burmese commanders mobilised troops from several infantry battalions to surround the contested village. Government forces approached from different directions, supported by mortars, heavy weapons and small-arms fire.

The offensive targeted positions close to the Moei River, which separates Burma from Thailand. Across the river lie residential communities in Mae Sot district, Tak province. Consequently, the fighting quickly reached populated areas on the Thai side.

By approximately 5.40 am, mortar rounds and bullets were entering Thailand. Explosions struck residential properties in Mahawan subdistrict, sending villagers scrambling for cover. Some families fled their homes, while others sought protection in bunkers and temporary shelters.

In response, community leaders used village loudspeakers to warn households about the approaching danger. Residents were instructed to take cover or move to designated safe areas.

Thai woman wounded by mortar shrapnel as bullets and explosives damage more than 20 border homes

The most serious confirmed casualty was a 55-year-old Thai woman identified in one Thai bulletin as Lamyong Nala. Other reports gave her surname as Dala.

She was sheltering inside her home in Ban Huai Mahawong, Moo 9, Mahawan subdistrict, when an explosive round struck. Shrapnel hit her left side and back, causing injuries requiring hospital treatment. Emergency responders subsequently transported her to Mae Sot Hospital. Doctors reported that her condition was stable. Thai authorities identified the munition as a 60mm mortar round.

Separately, 14-year-old Angkarat Suphap escaped injury when a bullet penetrated the roof of his family home. The boy was sheltering inside when the projectile landed on his chest. Despite the direct impact, he suffered no apparent injury. The incident occurred during the same cross-border confrontation that damaged neighbouring properties.

District officials subsequently began inspecting houses struck by bullets and explosive rounds. Their survey identified more than 20 damaged properties across three village areas. The affected communities were in Moo 1, Moo 4 and Moo 9 of Mahawan subdistrict.

Investigators found one house struck by a mortar round. Another property had been hit by a rocket-propelled grenade that failed to explode. Most remaining damage involved small-arms rounds penetrating rooftops.

Thai troops fire warning rounds towards Burma and reinforce positions after cross-border shelling

The unexploded grenade presented an additional hazard during the inspection. At the same time, officials documented damage to houses hit by different types of military ammunition. The incidents occurred as Burmese infantry units pressed their offensive immediately across the river. Thai residential areas were therefore exposed to several forms of cross-border fire.

At approximately 6 am, the Royal Thai Army responded. The Ratchamanu Task Force, operating under the Naresuan Force, fired two warning rounds towards Burma. Reports identified the ammunition as smoke and illumination rounds.

The military said its response followed established rules of engagement. Its purpose was to warn combatants against allowing further projectiles to enter Thailand.

The Naresuan Force is responsible for security along this section of Thailand’s western frontier. Following the warning shots, Thai troops reinforced their positions overlooking the Moei River. Additional heavy weapons were deployed, while soldiers maintained patrols and observation posts. The military also retained provisions for proportionate armed countermeasures under its rules of engagement.

In parallel, the Ratchamanu Task Force coordinated security with Mae Sot district officials and Border Patrol Police Company 346. Village security volunteers also joined the operation. Regular soldiers, border police and civilian authorities maintained a combined presence along the frontier. Security personnel remained on duty around the clock as fighting continued across the river.

Army commander visits injured woman as renewed fighting drives more than 200 villagers to protest

Colonel Jiraphat Homsaat, commander of the Ratchamanu Task Force, subsequently visited the injured woman. He provided financial assistance towards her medical treatment and discussed compensation for damaged property.

Mae Sot district chief Kanthaphong Phiphatmontrikul also deployed officials to inspect affected homes. District personnel coordinated emergency relief while military units maintained their positions.

Nevertheless, Thursday’s warning fire did not end the confrontation. By approximately 2 pm, Thai reports described further heavy-weapons exchanges near Min Let Pan. Drones were also reported dropping explosives near the frontier. The renewed fighting followed hours of infantry operations supported by mortars and other heavy weapons. Thai troops consequently remained on heightened alert throughout the afternoon.

The latest emergency came just 48 hours after a public protest by Thai border residents. On Tuesday, October 27, more than 200 villagers gathered in Mae Sot district to demand government intervention. The demonstration began at approximately 10 am at Ban Mae Kon Ken School in Village 9, Mahawan subdistrict. Residents came from Mae Kon Ken and neighbouring communities exposed to repeated cross-border shooting incidents.

Their complaints concerned bullets and explosive rounds entering Thailand during fighting between Burmese government troops and armed resistance organisations. According to residents, such incidents had occurred repeatedly over the preceding year.

Several houses had suffered damage, while Thai civilians had sustained injuries. The villagers therefore demanded immediate measures to protect their homes and property.

Border residents demand compensation and tougher measures to prevent Burmese fighting reaching homes

Community representatives addressed the gathering from a temporary stage for more than an hour. Residents also displayed signs describing damage caused by gunfire and explosive rounds crossing the border.

Afterwards, they submitted a written petition containing five demands. The document was presented to district chief Kanthaphong, representatives of the Ratchamanu Task Force, local MPs and other agencies.

The first demand concerned compensation for injuries and property damage. Residents requested assistance under Finance Ministry regulations governing emergency relief funds for disaster victims. Their petition covered households affected by bullets, explosive rounds and other military ammunition entering Thai territory. Financial assistance was sought for both medical expenses and damaged property.

The second demand called for measures to prevent fighting in Burma from threatening Thai communities. Residents wanted relevant agencies to deter further cross-border incidents.

They also sought restrictions on military operations near Mae Kon Ken that endangered villages. The petition specifically addressed the presence of armed forces operating immediately opposite residential areas.

Villagers seek permanent shelters and warning systems as petition calls for protection of Thai territory

Third, the villagers requested permanent shelters and bunkers across four vulnerable communities. They asked authorities to identify suitable safe locations and construct protective facilities. The fourth demand concerned early-warning systems.

Residents wanted warning signals and reliable alerts whenever fighting approached their homes. Such systems would notify households before gunfire or explosive rounds threatened populated areas.

Finally, the petition demanded stronger protection of Thai sovereignty. Residents called for measures to prevent Burmese military operations from encroaching on Thai territory.

They also sought restrictions on troop deployments and combat operations near the international boundary. District chief Kanthaphong undertook to forward the petition through provincial administrative channels to the government.

Thursday’s mortar strike occurred only two days after that gathering. The injured woman lived in Mahawan subdistrict, where residents had demanded government protection. More than 20 houses were subsequently identified as damaged across three village areas. Thus, the latest confrontation directly affected communities already reporting repeated incidents over the preceding year.

Naresuan Force sets out tougher border patrols and rules for responding to incoming Burmese fire

The Royal Thai Army had announced additional border security measures before the villagers’ demonstration. On Monday, October 26, the Naresuan Force outlined four areas of action.

The measures addressed military security, diplomatic coordination, civilian protection and refugees fleeing Burma. They followed earlier incidents involving bullets and explosives crossing into Thailand.

Under the first component, the military planned additional troop deployments, checkpoints and expanded patrols. Land and river operations would be strengthened along vulnerable sections of the frontier.

Furthermore, drones and aircraft would be used to monitor developments along the Moei River. Surveillance would focus on military activity near the international boundary.

The announced rules of engagement also specified how Thai forces could respond to incoming projectiles. Initially, troops would fire smoke rounds towards suspected firing positions across the border. However, proportionate countermeasures remained possible under specified circumstances. These included deliberate firing into Thai territory or incidents causing damage to Thai lives and property.

Thursday’s warning shots followed that framework. Two rounds were fired towards the Burmese side after projectiles struck Thai residential areas. The military identified the action as a warning rather than a wider engagement. Subsequently, Thai troops reinforced their positions and maintained surveillance of the continuing fighting.

Thailand prepares military and diplomatic protests alongside evacuation and refugee arrangements

The second component involved military and diplomatic coordination with Burmese authorities. Thailand planned to use Township Border Committee and Regional Border Committee mechanisms to contact Burmese military counterparts.

Through these channels, officials could demand an end to cross-border fire and raise complaints about damage. The Foreign Ministry could also pursue formal diplomatic protests and requests for compensation.

The third component covered civilian protection. Authorities outlined evacuation drills, temporary shelters and improvements to bunkers near high-risk villages. These arrangements addressed communities repeatedly exposed to fighting across the frontier. The fourth component concerned refugees fleeing Burma. Designated humanitarian reception areas and security screening procedures were included in the plans.

By Thursday morning, several elements of the military response were already in operation. Troops had fired warning rounds, reinforced positions and coordinated with border police and district authorities. Civilian officials were inspecting damaged houses and arranging assistance. Separately, village security teams helped maintain local protection measures.

Burmese army launches offensive to retake strategic Karen village captured by resistance fighters

Across the border, the Burmese offensive centred on a village contested by several armed organisations. Min Let Pan lies in southern Myawaddy township, near routes used to transport military supplies.

Its location is important for troop movements and logistical operations close to Thailand. Karen resistance fighters have repeatedly contested the surrounding territory with government forces and other armed groups.

According to the Democratic Voice of Burma, KNLA fighters captured Min Let Pan on November 21, 2025. The village had previously been controlled by the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army (DKBA). The DKBA has maintained links with the Burmese military. By contrast, the KNLA remains part of the wider armed resistance to military rule.

Following that change in control, the village remained contested territory. Burmese military commanders subsequently reportedly ordered troops to recapture the area.

Thursday’s offensive involved several infantry battalions advancing from different directions. Mortars, heavy weapons and small-arms fire supported the operation. The fighting took place immediately opposite Thai communities along the Moei River.

The offensive formed part of a broader Burmese military effort to regain territory lost to resistance organisations. The conflict has continued since the military seized power in February 2021. Armed resistance groups subsequently expanded operations across several regions, including Karen State. Government forces have attempted to regain contested areas through ground offensives and air operations.

Fighting spreads across Karen State as Burmese troops launch counteroffensives and air operations

On another front, fighting has intensified around Hpapun, also known as Mutraw, elsewhere in Karen State. The Democratic Voice of Burma reported an airstrike on Mae Nu Hta village on October 25. At least one resident was killed, according to the broadcaster. The attack occurred during continuing military operations in the area.

The broadcaster also cited Karen National Union reports concerning a major government counteroffensive around Hpapun earlier this year.

According to those accounts, nearly 2,000 Burmese government troops participated in operations aimed at regaining the area. The offensive formed part of the continuing struggle between government forces and Karen resistance organisations.

Meanwhile, the fighting around Min Let Pan has brought direct consequences for Thailand. Mae Sot is a major gateway for trade, migration and humanitarian movements between the two countries. Its border communities lie immediately opposite contested areas of Karen State. Consequently, military operations across the Moei River can affect Thai residential areas.

Mortars, gunfire and explosive drones hit Thai border as troops and officials coordinate response

Thursday’s confrontation involved several types of weapons. Mortar ammunition struck a Thai home, injuring a woman. Small-arms rounds penetrated rooftops, while another property was hit by an unexploded rocket-propelled grenade. In addition, Thai reports described drones dropping explosives near the frontier during the afternoon.

The incidents developed over several hours. By 5.40 am, bullets and mortar rounds were entering Thailand. At 6 am, the Ratchamanu Task Force fired warning shots. Later, district authorities inspected damaged homes and coordinated assistance. By 2 pm, heavy-weapons exchanges were continuing across the river.

The emergency required coordination between military and civilian agencies. Soldiers maintained border positions, while Border Patrol Police Company 346 supported security operations. Village volunteers assisted local protection measures. District officials inspected damaged properties and arranged relief for affected households.

Compensation also remained a central issue. Colonel Jiraphat provided financial assistance to the injured woman and discussed repairs to damaged homes. Earlier, residents had formally requested compensation under established government emergency relief regulations. Their petition also demanded permanent shelters and warning systems across four villages.

Border residents had demanded protection just days before mortar shells struck homes and injured a woman

Notably, the petition had been submitted before Thursday’s mortar strike. More than 200 residents had gathered to describe repeated cross-border incidents over the preceding year.

They specifically raised concerns about bullets, explosives and damage to residential properties. Two days later, Thai authorities were responding to another emergency involving those same threats.

The latest damage survey identified affected houses in Moo 1, Moo 4 and Moo 9. One property had been struck by a mortar round. Another contained an unexploded rocket-propelled grenade. Numerous other homes had bullets penetrate their rooftops. The injured woman required hospital treatment after shrapnel struck her left side and back.

The incident involving 14-year-old Angkarat Suphap provided another example of the cross-border gunfire. A bullet penetrated his family’s roof while he was sheltering inside. It landed on his chest, but he escaped without apparent injury. The boy was among residents caught in the confrontation across the frontier.

At the same time, Burmese government troops continued their attempt to recapture Min Let Pan. The offensive involved infantry battalions supported by mortars and heavy weapons. Karen resistance fighters held positions around the contested village. The fighting therefore remained concentrated close to Thai residential communities.

Thai Army reinforces frontier as officials assess injuries and damage from Burmese cross-border fire

Thai military commanders maintained reinforced positions throughout Thursday afternoon. Additional heavy weapons were deployed, while patrols and observation posts remained active. The Ratchamanu Task Force continued coordinating with border police, district authorities and village security teams. Personnel remained on duty around the clock.

The military’s announced procedures also provided for communication with Burmese counterparts through established border mechanisms. These channels covered demands to stop cross-border fire and complaints about damage inside Thailand. Diplomatic protests and compensation requests could also be pursued through the Foreign Ministry.

For Thai authorities, Thursday’s operation involved warning fire, border security, medical assistance and property inspections. The immediate casualty figure included one woman injured by mortar shrapnel. A teenage boy escaped injury after a bullet entered his home. More than 20 houses suffered damage across three village areas.

The residents’ petition remained before the authorities through provincial administrative channels. Its five demands covered compensation, prevention of further cross-border incidents, permanent shelters, early-warning systems and protection of Thai territory. The petition followed repeated complaints about fighting in Burma affecting Thai communities.

Burmese offensive continues across Moei River while Thai troops maintain heightened border security

Across the Moei River, Burmese government forces continued their offensive against Karen resistance fighters. The operation centred on Min Let Pan, a village captured by the KNLA in November 2025. Heavy weapons and infantry units were involved, while explosive drones were also reported near the frontier.

By Thursday afternoon, Thai forces were maintaining heightened security along the international boundary. The warning shots fired earlier had been followed by reinforced deployments and continued coordination with civilian authorities. Meanwhile, district officials were assessing damage and arranging assistance for affected residents.

The latest confrontation came 48 hours after more than 200 Thai villagers demanded government protection. It left one woman injured, a teenage boy narrowly escaping injury and over 20 homes damaged. As fighting continued across the Moei River, Thai troops remained deployed along the frontier. Burmese government forces were still attempting to retake Min Let Pan from Karen resistance fighters.

在“犯罪”、“生活”、“媒体”、“泰国”类别下

周四，缅甸军队对克伦族反叛武装发动大规模攻势，炮火和子弹射入​​泰国村庄，泰国西部边境遭到炮击。一名55岁妇女受伤，20多所房屋受损，一名少年侥幸逃生。泰国皇家陆军向缅甸方向鸣枪示警，并加强了边境阵地。与此同时，就在48小时前，200多名愤怒的村民在多次跨境袭击后要求军队保护。随着莫伊河附近激烈战斗和无人机爆炸袭击的持续，泰国指挥官维持了高度戒备。此次攻势是缅甸军队为夺回克伦族抵抗力量控制的领土而发起的更大规模军事行动的一部分。

周四，泰国皇家陆军向缅甸方向鸣枪示警，此前达府的泰国村庄爆发激烈战斗。一名55岁的泰国妇女被迫击炮弹片击伤，另有20多栋房屋受损。

缅甸政府军对莫伊河对岸的克伦族抵抗力量发动了大规模攻势。与此同时，就在两天前，200多名泰国居民要求加强军事保护。

泰国士兵加强了阵地防御，迫击炮弹、子弹和爆炸无人机威胁着边境沿线的居民区。截至周四下午，尽管泰国军方鸣枪示警，战斗仍在继续。

缅甸步兵在莫伊河附近发动进攻，迫击炮弹和子弹射入​​泰国边境村庄。

冲突于10月29日黎明前在缅甸苗瓦底镇敏莱潘村附近爆发。政府军向克伦民族解放军（KNLA）及其盟友抵抗战士的阵地发起进攻。

克伦民族解放军（KNLA）是克伦民族联盟（KNU）的武装力量，该联盟长期以来反对缅甸军政府统治。其武装力量曾与历届政府作战，争取克伦邦更大的自治权。

据泰国方面报道，缅甸指挥官调集了多个步兵营的部队包围了争议村庄。政府军在迫击炮、重型武器和轻武器的火力支援下，从不同方向逼近。

此次攻势的目标是靠近缅甸和泰国交界的莫伊河的阵地。河对岸是达府湄索县的居民区。因此，战斗很快蔓延到泰国一侧的人口稠密地区。

大约凌晨5点40分，迫击炮弹和子弹开始射入泰国境内。马哈万县的居民区遭到爆炸袭击，村民们纷纷寻找掩体。一些家庭逃离家园，另一些家庭则躲进地堡和临时避难所。

对此，社区领导人立即使用村里的扩音器向居民发出即将到来的危险警告。居民们被告知要寻找掩护或转移到指定的安全区域。

泰国一名女子被迫击炮弹片击伤，子弹和爆炸物损毁了20多处边境房屋。

已确认的最严重伤亡者是一名55岁的泰国女子，泰国官方公告称其名为拉米翁·纳拉（Lamyong Nala）。其他报道称其姓氏为达拉（Dala）。

事发时，她正在位于马哈旺区9号村班怀马哈翁的家中避难，一枚爆炸弹击中了她。弹片击中了她的左侧和背部，造成受伤，需要住院治疗。急救人员随后将她送往湄索医院。医生报告称，她的情况稳定。泰国当局确认该弹药为60毫米迫击炮弹。

另一起事件中，14岁的安卡拉·苏帕普（Angkarat Suphap）躲在自家屋顶，一颗子弹穿透屋顶击中了他，但他本人却毫发无损。当时他正躲在屋内，子弹击中了他的胸部。尽管受到直接撞击，他却没有明显受伤。这起事件发生在同一场跨境冲突中，冲突还损坏了邻近的房屋。

随后，地区官员开始检查被子弹和爆炸物击中的房屋。他们的调查发现，三个村庄共有20多处房屋受损。受灾社区位于马哈万分区1号村、4号村和9号村。

调查人员发现一栋房屋被迫击炮弹击中。另一处房产被一枚未爆炸的火箭弹击中。其余大部分损坏是由小型武器子弹穿透屋顶造成的。

泰国军队向缅甸方向发射警告弹，并在跨境炮击后加强阵地。

在检查过程中，未爆炸的手榴弹构成了额外的安全隐患。与此同时，官员们记录了不同类型军用弹药造成的房屋损坏情况。这些事件发生之际，缅甸步兵部队正紧随其后，在河对岸发动进攻。因此，泰国居民区暴露在多种形式的跨境炮火之下。

大约早上6点，泰国皇家陆军做出反应。隶属于纳黎萱部队的拉差马努特遣队向缅甸方向发射了两枚警告弹。据报道，这些弹药是烟雾弹和照明弹。

军方表示，其应对措施遵循既定的交战规则，目的是警告交战双方不要让更多炮弹进入泰国境内。

纳黎萱部队负责泰国西部边境这一区域的安全。鸣枪示警后，泰军加强了俯瞰莫伊河的阵地。军方部署了更多重型武器，士兵们也保持巡逻和设立观察哨。根据交战规则，军方还保留了采取相应武装反制措施的条款。

与此同时，拉查马努特遣队与湄索县官员和边防警察346连协调安保工作。村庄安保志愿者也加入了行动。正规军、边防警察和民事当局在边境沿线保持联合部署。由于河对岸的战斗仍在继续，安保人员昼夜不停地值守。

陆军指挥官探望受伤妇女，新一轮冲突引发200多名村民抗议

拉查马努特遣队指挥官吉拉帕特·霍姆萨特上校随后探望了受伤女子。他为她的医疗提供了经济援助，并商讨了财产损失赔偿事宜。

湄索县县长坎塔蓬·皮帕蒙特里库尔也派遣官员前往受灾房屋进行视察。县政府工作人员协调紧急救援工作，而军队则坚守岗位。

然而，周四的警告性射击并未结束对峙。下午2点左右，泰国方面报道称，敏莱潘附近再次爆发重型武器交火。另有报道称，无人机在边境附近投掷了爆炸物。此前数小时，步兵在迫击炮和其他重型武器的支援下展开了行动。因此，泰国军队在整个下午都保持高度戒备状态。

最新一起紧急事件发生在泰国边境居民举行公开抗议活动仅48小时之后。10月27日星期二，200多名村民聚集在湄索县，要求政府介入。示威活动于上午10点左右在马哈万区9号村的班湄坤肯学校开始。村民来自湄坤肯村及其周边社区，这些社区经常遭受跨境枪击事件的侵扰。

他们投诉的问题是，在缅甸政府军与武装抵抗组织交战期间，子弹和爆炸物流入泰国。据居民称，此类事件在过去一年中屡次发生。

多栋房屋受损，多名泰国平民受伤。因此，村民们要求立即采取措施保护他们的房屋和财产。

边境居民要求赔偿，并要求采取更严厉的措施，防止缅甸战火蔓延到他们的家园。

社区代表在临时搭建的讲台上向集会人群发表了一个多小时的讲话。居民们还展示了标语，描述了越境枪击和爆炸物造成的破坏。

随后，他们提交了一份包含五项诉求的书面请愿书。该文件已递交给地区行政长官坎塔蓬、拉查马努特别工作组代表、当地国会议员和其他机构。

第一项诉求是关于人身伤害和财产损失的赔偿。居民们根据财政部关于灾害受害者紧急救济基金的规定，请求政府提供援助。他们的请愿涵盖了因子弹、爆炸弹和其他进入泰国境内的军用弹药而受灾的家庭。他们寻求的经济援助包括医疗费用和财产损失。

第二项诉求是采取措施防止缅甸战乱威胁泰国社区。居民希望相关机构能够阻止进一步的跨境冲突。

他们还要求限制在湄公河畔湄公县附近进行的、危及村庄的军事行动。请愿书特别提到了武装部队在居民区正对面活动的问题。

村民们要求建造永久住所和预警系统，同时请愿书呼吁保护泰国领土

第三，村民们要求在四个易受灾的社区建造永久性避难所和掩体。他们请求当局确定合适的安全地点并建造防护设施。第四项诉求是关于预警系统。

居民们希望在战火逼近家园时能够收到预警信号和可靠的警报。这样的系统可以在枪声或爆炸物威胁到人口稠密地区之前通知住户。

最后，请愿书要求加强对泰国主权的保护。居民呼吁采取措施，防止缅甸军事行动侵犯泰国领土。

他们还要求限制在国际边界附近部署部队和开展作战行动。地区行政长官坎塔蓬承诺将通过省级行政渠道把请愿书转呈政府。

周四的迫击炮袭击发生在集会两天后。受伤妇女居住在马哈万分区，当地居民曾要求政府提供保护。随后，在三个村庄区域内，超过20栋房屋被确认受损。因此，此次冲突直接影响了此前一年中已多次发生类似事件的社区。

纳黎萱部队制定了更严格的边境巡逻措施和应对缅甸炮火的规则

在村民示威游行之前，泰国皇家陆军就已宣布了额外的边境安全措施。10月26日星期一，纳黎萱部队概述了四项行动重点。

这些措施涉及军事安全、外交协调、平民保护以及逃离缅甸的难民。此前曾发生多起子弹和爆炸物流入泰国的事件。

第一阶段计划包括增派兵力、设立检查站和扩大巡逻范围。边境脆弱地带的陆地和水路作战能力也将得到加强。

此外，还将使用无人机和飞机监测摩依河沿岸的事态发展。监视重点将放在国际边界附近的军事活动上。

公布的交战规则还明确规定了泰军如何应对来袭炮弹。最初，部队会向疑似越境射击阵地发射烟雾弹。然而，在特定情况下，泰军仍可采取相应的反制措施。这些情况包括蓄意向泰国领土开火或造成泰国人民生命财产损失的事件。

周四的警告射击遵循了这一框架。在炮弹击中泰国居民区后，泰方向缅甸一侧鸣放了两轮炮弹。军方将此次行动定性为警告，而非更大规模的交战。随后，泰军加强了阵地，并持续监视着战况。

泰国准备采取军事和外交抗议行动，同时安排人员撤离和难民事宜。

第二部分涉及与缅甸当局的军事和外交协调。泰国计划利用乡镇边界委员会和地区边界委员会的机制与缅甸军方对口部门联系。

通过这些渠道，官员们可以要求停止跨境交火，并对造成的损失提出申诉。外交部还可以提起正式的外交抗议，并要求赔偿。

第三部分涉及平民保护。当局制定了疏散演习计划、临时避难所建设方案，并改进了高风险村庄附近的掩体。这些安排旨在保护那些反复遭受边境冲突蹂躏的社区。第四部分涉及逃离缅甸的难民。计划中包括指定的人道主义接待区和安全检查程序。

截至周四上午，军事应对措施的多个环节已投入运作。部队鸣放警告弹，加强阵地部署，并与边防警察和地方政府协调行动。民政官员正在检查受损房​​屋并安排援助。此外，村级治安队也协助维护当地的安全措施。

缅甸军队发起攻势，试图夺回被抵抗战士占领的具有战略意义的克伦族村庄。

在边境另一侧，缅甸的攻势集中在一个由多个武装组织争夺的村庄。敏莱潘村位于苗瓦底镇南部，靠近运送军需品的要道。

其地理位置对于靠近泰国的部队调动和后勤行动至关重要。克伦族抵抗战士曾多次与政府军和其他武装团体争夺周边地区。

据缅甸民主之声报道，克伦民族解放军（KNLA）战士于2025年11月21日攻占了敏莱潘村。该村此前由民主克伦仁爱军（DKBA）控制。民主克伦仁爱军与缅甸军方保持着联系。相比之下，克伦民族解放军仍然是更广泛的反抗军政府统治的武装力量的一部分。

控制权变更后，该村庄仍是争议地区。据报道，缅甸军方指挥官随后命令部队重新夺回该地区。

周四的攻势中，多个步兵营从不同方向发起进攻。迫击炮、重型武器和轻武器火力支援了此次行动。战斗发生在莫伊河沿岸泰国居民区的正对面。

此次攻势是缅甸军方为收复被抵抗组织占领的领土而采取的更广泛行动的一部分。自2021年2月军方夺取政权以来，冲突一直持续不断。武装抵抗组织随后将行动范围扩大到包括克伦邦在内的多个地区。政府军则试图通过地面进攻和空中行动收复争议地区。

随着缅甸军队发起反攻和空袭，战斗蔓延至克伦邦全境。

另一方面，克伦邦其他地区，包括穆特劳（Mutraw）在内的帕蓬（Hpapun）周边地区的战斗也愈演愈烈。缅甸民主之声报道称，10月25日，湄努塔村（Mae Nu Hta）遭到空袭，至少一名村民丧生。此次袭击发生在该地区持续进行的军事行动期间。

该广播公司还援引了克伦民族联盟的报告，称今年早些时候政府在帕蓬附近发动了一次大规模反攻。

据这些报道，近2000名缅甸政府军士兵参与了旨在收复该地区的行动。此次攻势是政府军与克伦族抵抗组织之间持续斗争的一部分。

与此同时，敏莱潘附近的冲突也给泰国带来了直接影响。湄索是两国之间贸易、移民和人道主义援助的重要门户。其边境社区与克伦邦的争议地区隔河相望。因此，莫伊河对岸的军事行动可能会影响泰国居民区。

迫击炮、枪声和爆炸无人机袭击了泰国边境，军队和官员正在协调应对措施

周四的冲突中使用了多种武器。迫击炮弹击中了一处泰国民宅，造成一名妇女受伤。小型武器子弹穿透了屋顶，另一处房产则被一枚未爆炸的火箭弹击中。此外，泰国方面报道称，当天下午有无人机在边境附近投掷了爆炸物。

事件持续数小时。凌晨5点40分，子弹和迫击炮弹开始射入泰国境内。上午6点，拉差马努特遣队鸣枪示警。随后，地方当局检查了受损房屋并协调援助。下午2点，河对岸的重型武器交火仍在继续。

此次紧急情况需要军方和民事机构协调合作。士兵坚守边境阵地，边防警察346连支援安保行动。村庄志愿者协助开展当地防护措施。地区官员检查受损房​​屋，并为受灾家庭安排救济。

赔偿问题仍然是焦点。吉拉帕特上校向受伤妇女提供了经济援助，并讨论了受损房屋的修缮事宜。此前，村民们已根据政府既定的紧急救济条例正式提出赔偿申请。他们的请愿书还要求在四个村庄建造永久性住所和预警系统。

就在迫击炮弹击中民宅并导致一名妇女受伤的几天前，边境居民还要求获得保护。

值得注意的是，这份请愿书是在周四的迫击炮袭击之前提交的。超过200名居民聚集在一起，讲述了过去一年中反复发生的跨境冲突事件。

他们特别提出了对子弹、爆炸物和住宅财产损失的担忧。两天后，泰国当局又应对了一起涉及相同威胁的紧急事件。

最新的损失调查显示，1号村、4号村和9号村均有房屋受损。其中一处房屋被迫击炮弹击中，另一处房屋内发现未爆炸的火箭弹，还有许多房屋的屋顶被子弹击穿。一名女子左侧和背部被弹片击中，需要住院治疗。

14岁的安卡拉·苏帕普（Angkarat Suphap）遭遇的事件再次印证了跨境枪击事件的严重性。当时他躲在自家屋顶下，一颗子弹穿透屋顶击中了他的胸部，但他侥幸逃脱，并未受伤。这名男孩是卷入边境冲突的居民之一。

与此同时，缅甸政府军继续试图夺回敏莱潘村。此次攻势动用了步兵营，并辅以迫击炮和重型武器。克伦族抵抗战士则在争议村庄周围占据阵地。因此，战斗主要集中在泰国居民区附近。

泰国军方加强边境防御，官员们正在评估缅甸跨境炮火造成的伤亡和损失。

周四下午，泰国军方指挥官继续加强防御阵地。增派了重型武器，巡逻队和观察哨也保持活跃。拉差马努特遣队继续与边防警察、地方当局和村庄安全队协调合作。人员24小时值守。

军方公布的程序还规定，可通过既定的边境机制与缅甸方面沟通。这些渠道涵盖要求停止跨境交火以及对泰国境内损失的投诉。此外，还可以通过外交部提出外交抗议和赔偿请求。

对泰国当局而言，周四的行动包括鸣放警告弹、边境安全巡逻、医疗救助和房屋检查。直接伤亡人员包括一名被迫击炮弹片击伤的妇女。一名少年家中被子弹击中，所幸未受伤。三个村庄共有20多栋房屋受损。

居民的请愿书通过省级行政渠道提交给了当局。请愿书中提出的五项要求包括：赔偿、防止再次发生跨境冲突、提供永久性住所、建立预警系统以及保护泰国领土。此前，缅甸泰族社区曾多次发生冲突事件，此次请愿正是对此的回应。

缅甸军队继续在摩伊河沿岸发动攻势，而泰国军队则加强了边境安全。

在莫伊河对岸，缅甸政府军继续对克伦族抵抗武装发动攻势。此次行动的核心是敏莱潘村，该村于2025年11月被克伦民族解放军攻占。行动中动用了重型武器和步兵部队，据报道，边境附近还出现了爆炸无人机。

截至周四下午，泰国军队已加强了国际边界沿线的安全警戒。此前鸣枪示警后，泰国方面已增派兵力，并与地方政府持续协调。与此同时，地方官员正在评估损失，并安排向受灾居民提供援助。

在200多名泰国村民要求政府保护的48小时后，双方爆发了最新冲突。冲突造成一名妇女受伤，一名少年侥幸逃生，20多所房屋受损。随着莫伊河对岸的战斗持续进行，泰国军队仍部署在边境沿线。缅甸政府军仍在试图从克伦族抵抗战士手中夺回敏莱潘村。

缅甸军政府在克伦邦再次遭遇军事挫败，大量缅甸难民和战败部队涌入达府。
