The Thai Army's First Army Region Command will pursue legal action against Cambodian protesters for causing injuries to Thai soldiers and damaging property during a border fence demonstration in Sa Kaeo province.
Thailand asserts the incidents occurred on its sovereign territory, accusing Cambodian protesters of encroachment and violating the 2000 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU43) which prohibits altering border environments.
The Thai Army defends its installation of barbed wire as a measure for self-protection against Cambodian landmines and to ensure the safety of its land survey team, dismissing Cambodia's accusations of ceasefire violations as disinformation.
Thailand claims Ban Nong Chan is Thai territory and alleges Cambodia has exploited Thai humanitarian hospitality by encouraging its citizens to settle there permanently, aiming to later claim the area as Cambodian.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
