rooster59 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Border troops on alert as fighting between Mon rebels and Myanmar troops seems imminent Thai troops deployed at the western border with Myanmar, in Sangkhla Buri district of Kanchanaburi, have been put on alert in anticipation of a new round of fighting between Myanmar government troops and Mon rebels. Fighting broke out a few days ago, resulting in the takeover of a Mon National Liberation Army base in Ban Bor Yeepoon by Myanmar troops. The clash sent about 1,000 Mon civilians fleeing across the border to seek refuge in Thailand’s Sangkhla Buri district. Two shelters have been set up to house the refugees, one in Bang Songkalia in Village 8 and the other at Wat Tao Tharn in Village 9.
