Cambodian drones spotted 71 times along border, says Second Army Area
The Second Army Area reports 71 Cambodian drones detected along the Thai border as both sides maintain high alert and observation posts.
The Operations Centre of the Second Army Area has released a summary of the situation along the Thai-Cambodian border on Saturday (October 4), revealing multiple instances of drone activity believed to be from Cambodia.
The report followed a briefing session with the Interim Observer Team (IOT), led by Malaysia’s Assistant Defence Attaché to Thailand, at Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital in Warin Chamrap district, Ubon Ratchathani province.
Afterwards, the Thai delegation, headed by Maj Gen Sukontharat Chaopong, Deputy Commander of the Second Army Area, escorted the observers to the Chong Bok border area in Nam Yuen district to assess alleged ceasefire violations by Cambodian forces.
These violations were reviewed under the agreement reached at the Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee (GBC) meeting held on August 7 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
According to the Second Army Area, drone incursions were detected across several key points: six at Chong An Ma, six in the Phu Makua–Phra Wihan Temple area, 50 around Ta Kwai Temple, five at Chong Krang, and four near Ta Muen Thom Temple — totalling 71 times.
Both Thai and Cambodian forces remain stationed along their respective defensive lines. Thai troops have been deployed to observation posts to monitor movements and stand ready to respond as necessary, the army said.
The Second Army Area also urged the public to be cautious when consuming unverified information, warning against distorted or false reports circulating online. It advised people to follow official government channels for accurate and timely updates.
