Report Thailand Braces for Downpours as 'War Room' Springs into Action
Picture courtesy of NNT Thailand has activated a round-the-clock "war room" for real-time monitoring and disaster management as a powerful storm approaches. This urgent measure comes after warnings from the Thai Meteorological Department about heavy rain expected in several northern provinces due to Typhoon Wipha's proximity to northern Vietnam on July 21–22. Interior Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, acting as National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Commander, announced that the North and Northeast should prepare for intense rainfall on July 22–23, potentially causing a rise in the Mekong River's levels. A combination of a low-pressure trough and moist air from the Andaman Sea is forecast to result in widespread precipitation. Phumtham has instructed the Ministry of Interior to vigilantly track weather changes, assess risks, and ensure transparent public communication to avert misinformation. Interior Ministry Permanent Secretary Unsit Sampuntharat has asked provincial leaders to focus on areas receiving over 90 millimetres of rain, regions prone to flooding, and places with inadequate drainage. Officials are tasked with fortifying riverbanks, removing water blockages, and adjusting reservoir management for efficient water flow throughout the waterways. We are preparing emergency services, equipment, and communication channels for swift action. Citizens in high-risk zones are advised to safeguard property and be ready to evacuate if required. Passakorn Boonyalak, Director-General of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, revealed that a high-level “war room” meeting convened multiple agencies, including the TMD, the Office of the National Water Resources, the Royal Irrigation Department, and GISTDA, to evaluate Typhoon Wipha’s potential threats. The TMD has issued warnings for Chanthaburi, Trat, Ranong, and Phangnga provinces, alongside parts of the Central and Northeastern regions. The TMD urges those living near slopes, waterways, and lowlands to remain vigilant against flash floods and water runoff. As of 4pm Sunday, the TMD reported that Wipha was a tropical storm located in Guangdong province, China. Predicted to affect Thailand with heavy rain from Sunday through Thursday, the storm, coupled with the southwesterly monsoon, is expected to impact the North, the upper Northeast, the western Central Plain, the East, and the southwestern coast. Thailand has implemented weather-related precautions and emergency measures to prepare for potential flood risks and heightened river levels in the coming days.

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
Russians don't understand the concept of OpSec, with these photos. Note the logo, top right. These are official Russian MOD photos. Whats more, they are using new Dodge pickups, Made in USA/ In an Iranian style propaganda video, of a style that tends to backfire. So now we know the inside layout of the largest Russian drone factory. We can see loading doors, identify the manufacturer and specs of said doors. A good idea of headcounts. From analysing the parts bins, also more detailed views of production rates. The Russians are keen to let people know they are employing 9th Graders on the line. What every top nation does, child labour. Surely not indicative of looming labour shortages now affecting the defense sector. Fleets of Iranian style scary looking Dodge trucks; straight out of the Isis/Taliban propaganda playbooks, usually indicative of a paper tiger. Dodge trucks I'd imagine are fairly unusual in Russia. Steps will be made to find out which Dodge dealer in likely Kazazhstan has been flogging all black trucks. They need spare parts, servicing, like any other Dodge, opening up another line of intel to identify depots etc. It gets funnier (not for the Russians). These trucks are fitted with Uconnect ("RAM Trucking"), which enables operators to manage their fleets via GPS. Besides locating the said trucks, you can remotely lock, unlock, start engines. In the past, hackers have exploited the system to apply the brakes, flash the headlights, even take over the steering (the hack was used before to crash cars into ditches). Maybe it was fully patched, maybe there is still a backdoor. -
