Thai Army Conducts Air Operations in Response to Cambodian Border Attacks
The Thai Army has initiated air operations as a self-defense measure following intensified attacks by Cambodian forces along the border. The escalation began in the early hours, with Cambodian troops using small arms, artillery, and other fire-support systems to target multiple locations, including Chong Bok and Prasat Ta Kwai. The Thai military reported casualties, including one confirmed fatality, and has responded by coordinating with the Royal Thai Air Force to strike Cambodian military bases and fire-support positions. The Army's actions are aimed at neutralizing the threat posed by Cambodian fire-support systems, which have been identified as a direct danger to Thai soldiers and civilians. The situation has prompted the evacuation of residents from at-risk zones, coordinated by the Second Army Area with local authorities.
