The Royal Thai Navy released aerial footage on Wednesday, December 10, depicting a missile strike on a Cambodian building in the Trat–Thmar Dar border area. Thai officials described the target as a “drone control center” used by Cambodian forces, amid escalating clashes along the disputed frontier.

The release comes as tensions between Thailand and Cambodia entered their fourth consecutive day, with both sides reporting military exchanges and heightened border patrol activity. The Thai Navy said the strike was part of a broader effort to neutralize perceived operational threats near the contested border.

Footage from the operation shows missiles impacting the structure, with Thai military personnel overseeing the strike from aerial and naval platforms. While Thailand characterized the building as a military target, Cambodian authorities have not independently verified the claim, and the incident further strains bilateral relations between the neighboring countries.

The ongoing conflict in the Trat–Thmar Dar area has already raised concerns about civilian safety and regional stability, with international observers urging restraint. Analysts note that the use of missile strikes signals an intensification of the confrontation beyond conventional skirmishes, increasing the risk of a broader escalation.

Both sides are under pressure to manage the situation diplomatically while maintaining operational readiness along the border. The Thai Navy’s public release of the video underscores Bangkok’s intent to demonstrate military capability and deterrence in the disputed area.
