Along the Thai-Myanmar border, the military council’s air force has been conducting airstrikes against KNLA positions, violating Thai airspace in the process. In response to these incursions, the Thai military has reportedly relocated anti-aircraft weapons to the border area, according to Thai-based media outlets. Analysts suggest that these territorial violations could lead to increased regional tensions. The situation highlights the escalating conflict in the border regions and the potential for international complications.
