Thai Second Army Forces Destroy Cambodian Casino Compound Amid Renewed Border Clashes
Thailand’s military dismantles an enemy compound near Chong Sai Taku as cross-border hostilities intensify
Thai Army units from the Second Army Area have carried out a targeted military operation to destroy a Cambodian casino compound located opposite the Chong Sai Taku area on the Thai-Cambodian border.
The action forms part of a broader series of engagements in the renewed border conflict between the Royal Thai Army and Cambodian forces in several frontier provinces.
According to situation reports from the Second Army Area, Thai artillery and combat units struck the compound after intelligence indicated that Cambodian troops were using the site for military purposes, including launching indirect fire and multiple-rocket attacks into Thai territory.
Forces responded under the principles of self-defence to neutralise threats directly affecting Thai border positions.
The operation was conducted with precision to minimize harm to non-combatants and focused on dismantling strategic enemy assets.
The strike on the casino compound at Chong Sai Taku follows escalating clashes along the disputed frontier, which have seen sporadic exchanges of fire, the use of drones and artillery, and the destruction of key enemy positions.
Thai troops have also reported successfully destroying other hostile military infrastructure, including anti-drone towers and heavy weapons emplacements, as part of coordinated defensive operations.
Thailand has emphasised that its military actions are driven by the imperative to protect national sovereignty and ensure the safety of border communities.
The government maintains that operations are lawful and proportionate, conducted strictly against military targets.
The situation remains fluid as both sides continue to reinforce positions and engage along multiple points of the frontier.
The destruction of the compound at Chong Sai Taku underscores the intensity of the conflict and the readiness of Thai forces to respond decisively to threats.
The Second Army Area remains vigilant, prioritising the security of Thai territory and citizens in this challenging period of bilateral tension.
