Multiple explosions from rocket propelled grenades (RPG) and mortar rounds stored in the munitions depot triggered fires damaging a nearby building inside the Surin Pakdee barracks of the border patrol police.

More than 20 fire trucks rushed to the scene to fight the fires, but were obstructed by exploding munitions. They managed to get close to the armoury to do their job once the explosions had stopped.

Many police officers and their families living in the camp, as well as residents in the neighborhood, were evacuated to safety.
