The Royal Thai Army Reports a Clash Incident at Ta Muen Temple Area, Phanom Dong Rak District, Surin Province, Following Cambodian Forces Opening Fire on the Morning of 24 July 2025
On 24 July 2025, at 07:35 hours, the special task force responsible for Ta Muen Temple area reported hearing the sound of a Cambodian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) circling around the front of Ta Muen Temple. Despite not being able to visually detect the aircraft, the sound was clearly audible.
Subsequently, Cambodian forces brought weapons into position at the front of the barbed wire perimeter. Six Cambodian personnel were observed, fully armed, including with RPG weapons, approaching the barbed wire area in front of Thai operational base.
