evidence: Myanmar, Thailand: Border closure at Three Pagodas Pass in Payathonzu as of June 20 [...] Separatist groups in Myanmar's Karen State are maintaining the closure of Payathonzu's Three Pagodas Pass border crossing with Thailand as of June 20, with a decision on when the crossing will reopen on June 22. This is due to the crossing allegedly not following existing trading laws; separatists say they seeking to restrict the illegal movement of goods. Thai officials have also closed their side of the border. Authorities will likely maintain heightened security measures around the Three Pagodas Pass, including setting up roadblocks and stationing additional personnel. Transport and business disruptions are likely. Businesses that transport goods through the checkpoint may face shipping delays.
