About 30 to 40 Cambodian villagers were observed moving around makeshift shelters opposite Ban Nong Ya Kaeo, while two or three Cambodian soldiers monitored Thai forces. Cambodia's border police were also reported to have dispatched more than 100 personnel to the area.

To monitor the situation along the border, the Burapha Task Force and local administration officials are maintaining 24-hour surveillance along the frontier.
