ISOC urges public to stay alert for drones, suspected espionage
ISOC says it has ordered tighter security in areas behind the frontline, including communities and tourist sites, and is asking the public to report suspicious drones, surveillance or sabotage via the 24-hour hotline 1374.
The Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) on Sunday urged the public to stay alert for possible espionage activity and drone attacks from Cambodia targeting communities and tourist destinations.
General Chaiyapruek Duangpraphat, the Army chief of staff and ISOC secretary-general, said he had instructed all agencies under ISOC to step up security in areas behind the frontline, including communities, tourist destinations and other crowded locations.
Chaiyapruek said he had directed ISOC deputy chiefs in each province to coordinate with relevant government agencies and the civil sector to watch for potential threats that could harm the public and affect national security.
He said ISOC was seeking the public’s cooperation. Anyone who notices anything unusual, or has information that may be linked to the following, should report it immediately:
- The use of, or sightings of, suspicious unmanned aerial vehicles (drones)
- Suspected individuals infiltrating an area or carrying out surveillance
- Sabotage, or any act that may affect security and public safety
- Any other unusual incidents
Reports can be made to the security hotline 1374, free of charge, 24 hours a day.
