Over 1,200 families in Cambodia's northern Stung Treng province were evacuated due to severe flooding.
The floods were caused by the collapse of the Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy dam in Attapeu province, Laos, leading to water levels rising to nearly 12 meters.
Siem Pang district was the most affected area, prompting authorities to mobilize security forces and distribute essential supplies, including food and water.
Despite the extensive flooding and evacuations, no deaths were reported in Stung Treng province.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.

Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
