A tense military conflict between Thailand and Cambodia escalated at their shared border yesterday, with footage from both sides surfacing as proof of the violent exchange. Cambodian media reports indicate that the Cambodian military successfully destroyed a Thai tank, while videos also show Thailand using drones to bomb Cambodian military sites, including an ammunition depot.
Thailand’s Drone Strike on Cambodian Military Targets
According to reports from Thai media, the Thai Royal Army deployed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) armed with M261 and M472 rocket pods, along with improvised bombs, to carry out precision strikes on Cambodian military positions. The drones targeted several key facilities, including ammunition depots, with explosive results that sent fire and smoke billowing into the sky.
Footage of the attack shows the devastating impact, as explosions erupted at multiple locations, underlining the scale of the Thai military’s operation. The drone strikes appear to have successfully hit strategic Cambodian targets, dealing a significant blow to the Cambodian military’s capabilities.
Cambodia Claims to Have Destroyed Thai Tank
On the Cambodian side, media outlets reported that the Cambodian military had managed to destroy a Thai tank during the exchange. A brief, five-second video was shared, showing the moment the tank was hit and rendered completely destroyed. The footage is seen as an indication of Cambodia’s efforts to defend its territory amid the escalating conflict.
This exchange is the latest in a series of border clashes between the two nations, and it appears that both sides are prepared for further escalations. While Thailand continues to use aerial drone strikes, Cambodia has demonstrated its capacity for retaliation, raising concerns about the potential for further military escalation.
As the situation unfolds, both nations’ military forces are reportedly on high alert, and tensions remain high along the border.
