Tensions Rise in Southeast Asia as Thailand Attacks Cambodian Building

The border tensions in Southeast Asia are taking a new turn as Thailand has launched an attack on a building in Cambodia. Thai military officials reported that the strike targeted a structure in Surin Province, which they claim was being used as an arms depot by Cambodian forces.

According to a report from a local media outlet, the attack occurred on Monday, July 28. Thai soldiers describe the operation as an act of self-defense, asserting that Cambodian forces had been firing heavy weapons toward Thai territory from the building. They emphasize that no civilians were present during the attack and that the building was completely empty, being used as a cannon site.

Video footage shows artillery strikes hitting the structure across the border. Authorities believe the building was a casino, with no civilians nearby. The incident signals a serious escalation in the ongoing border dispute between the two Southeast Asian neighbors.
