Thailand boosts troop numbers at Myanmar border

Thai authorities issued a statement on Saturday (December 25) saying three shells of unknown origin had fallen into the Thailand side, with one causing some damage to a Thai citizen's property without reports of injuries or death.

The statement was published along with a video of border patrol police entering the border village in armoured vehicles.

Myanmar has been in turmoil since the military on February 1 overthrew the elected government of Nobel Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been sentenced to four years' detention and faces multiple other criminal charges.
