Thailand’s airstrikes targeted Cambodian military facilities housing long-range artillery amid escalating tensions, with reports indicating the potential use of Chinese-made PHL-03 and Soviet-designed BM-21 rockets that could threaten civilian areas. Following accusations of ceasefire violations, Thai defense officials stated that surveillance indicated Cambodia’s repositioning of heavy weapons, prompting the air force’s intervention to protect national security and civilians. The PHL-03 rockets have a range of 70-130 km, raising concerns over their capability to strike vital infrastructure in Thai territory. This renewed conflict, marked by past clashes that resulted in significant casualties and displacement, underscores the fragile security dynamics in Southeast Asia and the need for effective diplomatic engagement to prevent further escalation.
