Military Identifies Unexploded Ordnance Found in Dong Yai Forest

According to a report from Matichon Online, the Second Army Area has concluded its investigation into an explosive object discovered lodged within a tree in the Dong Yai Forest. Military officials have identified the item as a 105mm anti-tank shell.

Following the identification, the military has issued orders for specialized personnel to conduct a recovery and disposal operation to neutralize the threat. While the discovery of such ordnance in a forested area is concerning, the military has taken immediate steps to secure the site and manage the removal process.

For residents and travelers in the region, this incident serves as a reminder to exercise caution when exploring remote or dense forest areas, particularly those with a history of military activity. If you encounter any suspicious metallic objects or items resembling military hardware, it is critical to maintain a safe distance and report the finding to local authorities immediately rather than attempting to inspect or move the object.

At this time, the military has not provided further details regarding how the shell came to be embedded in the tree or if there are additional unexploded items in the vicinity. Further updates are expected once the recovery operation is completed.
