Community Gunfire Crosses into Thailand as Lao Military Base Attacked Near Chiang Rai Border
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Multiple explosions and bursts of gunfire were reported on the 3 May, near the Thai-Lao border in Chiang Rai province, following what appeared to be a coordinated attack on several positions of the Lao military directly across from Wiang Kaen district. At approximately 22:30, residents of Ban Romfahphamon village in Moo 15, Por sub-district, reported a loud exchange of gunfire from across the Mekong River. Shortly afterwards, bullets reportedly pierced the roof of a local home. Fortunately, no injuries were sustained. The origin of the attack is believed to be in the area of Ban Phu Pha Mon, located in Pak Tha District, Bokeo Province of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), just across the border from Thailand. The clash appeared to have occurred about two kilometres from the Thai border. In response, Major General Kidakorn Chantra, Commander of the Pha Muang Task Force, instructed Colonel Pairat Srichaiwan, Commanding Officer of the 31st Ranger Regiment Task Force, to monitor the situation closely. Thai military personnel have since increased their presence along the border to prevent any potential spillover of violence. In a formal communication, Major General Kidakorn also contacted his Lao counterpart, the head of the coordination team for the Lao-Thai border in Bokeo Province, expressing concern over the cross-border trajectory of the gunfire. He urged the Lao side to investigate the incident thoroughly and to take precautionary measures to prevent harm to Thai civilians and maintain peace in the border region. The incident has raised concern among residents, especially given the proximity of the gunfire. Thai authorities continue to monitor the area with heightened vigilance and have requested timely updates from their Lao counterparts should any further military activity occur. The situation remains under close observation by Thai security forces, with a continued emphasis on public safety and cross-border coordination. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-05. -

Houthi Missile Strike Near Ben Gurion Airport Prompts Netanyahu to Vow Swift Retaliation
Missile Strike Near Ben Gurion Airport Prompts Netanyahu to Vow Swift Retaliation Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged a forceful response following a missile strike near Ben Gurion Airport, Israel’s main international gateway. The missile, fired by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi rebels, landed close to Terminal Three on Sunday morning, injuring four people and prompting widespread alarm. In a video message shared on social media, Netanyahu addressed the nation and its enemies with a stark warning: “We attacked in the past, we will attack in the future.” His statement made clear that retaliation was imminent and would not be limited to the Houthis alone. “Attacks by the Houthis emanate from Iran,” he said, adding that Israel would “respond to the Houthi attack, and to Iran at a time and place of our choosing.” Absolutely INSANE footage of the impact from a Houthi missile on Israel’s Ben Gurion airport. What would happen if this was JFK or Heathrow - do you think the Houthis would exist tomorrow? How about their Iranian backers? The missile impact occurred near a parking lot adjacent to the airport’s main terminal, according to Israeli authorities. Though the injuries sustained were not life-threatening, the explosion triggered panic among civilians and led to temporary flight suspensions. Emergency services reported that four individuals were wounded by the blast itself, while two others were hurt while rushing to nearby shelters. Unverified videos circulated online appeared to show motorists abruptly pulling over to seek cover as the missile descended, with one clip capturing a black plume of smoke rising ominously near the airport's perimeter. The Israel Air Force confirmed it was investigating why the projectile was not intercepted, despite the country’s robust missile defense systems. According to Israeli media citing defense officials, both the long-range Arrow system and the US-supplied Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery failed to neutralize the incoming threat. This rare lapse has raised questions about vulnerabilities in Israel’s multi-layered air defense strategy. Yair Hetzroni, a senior Israeli police commander, took journalists to the impact site, where a deep crater marked the ground. “You can see the scene right behind us here, a hole that opened up with a diameter of tens of metres and also tens of metres deep,” Hetzroni said, emphasizing that the missile did not cause significant structural damage to the airport facilities. Although Ben Gurion Airport has since resumed operations, several international carriers including Lufthansa, Air France, and Delta cancelled their flights in and out of Tel Aviv for the day, reflecting ongoing security concerns. The Houthis later released a statement announcing their intention to impose “a comprehensive aerial blockade” on Israel, warning that further strikes targeting Israeli airports would follow in retaliation for Israel’s military activities in Gaza. This threat adds a new dimension to the group’s ongoing campaign of missile attacks in solidarity with Hamas. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz responded in kind, echoing Netanyahu’s message of deterrence: “Anyone who hits us, we will hit them seven times stronger.” The Houthi movement, known for its missile and drone attacks in the Red Sea region, has also drawn the ire of the United States and the United Kingdom, both of which have launched military strikes against the group in response to its maritime aggression. Despite Israel’s sophisticated defense network, Sunday’s successful missile strike marks a notable escalation, signaling that the Houthis may be refining their targeting capabilities. As Netanyahu convenes with top military and cabinet officials to determine the next steps, the country awaits a response that may reshape Israel’s approach to regional threats linked to Iran.
