October 13, 2025
Airstrikes continue to pose an ongoing concern for the safety and security of local people. In targeted areas of the Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM), such incidents are occurring frequently and causing immense uncertainty.
The situation along the Thai-Burma border became extremely tense on the morning of 8 October 2025 when junta aircraft carried out a heavy bombing raid over Thit Khee village, located opposite the Phu Nam Ron permanent checkpoint in Muang District, Kanchanaburi Province. According to local sources, a Y-12 aircraft flew over the area for nearly an hour and dropped between 27 and 30 bombs starting around 10:00 AM. The explosions hit directly on the Burma side of the frontier where Thit Khee village is situated.
The area is home to the Karen National Union (KNU) Brigade 4 and allied People’s Defence Forces (PDF). While casualty figures from Myanmar remain unconfirmed, the intensity of the strikes caused widespread panic among civilians. Residents described scenes of fear as families fled toward the Thai side of the border. Many gathered at the wooden barriers near the Phu Nam Ron gate, seeking immediate refuge.
