Someone in Takeo really pissed someone off as they've been having a severe crackdown in Kirivong this past year.

They have started the second crackdown on drugs this year. Difficult to pinpoint growing areas. I wonder if that is why the helicopter has been flying around kk province for the last few days?

I've seen a black military looking helicopter flying very low over the forest in Kampong Speu. Though it wasn't circling the area
