Bangkok: The Thai air force sent two F-16s and two Gripens fighters to attack Cambodian military targets at around 1100 a.m. local time on Sunday, the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand reported.
The broadcaster said the operation destroyed two Cambodian military targets.
On the same day, Winthai Suvaree, Thai army spokesperson, said that intelligence reports indicate potential deployment of high-performance weapons systems that may provide additional support to Cambodian forces.
Thailand, therefore, finds it necessary to conduct military operations in response to the continued firing of long-range support weapons such as rockets and artillery that persist in targeting Thai territory to prevent civilian casualties or losses, Winthai said.
On Saturday, Cambodian artillery shells targeted a hospital in Si Sa Ket Province, causing severe damage to the building structure. However, there were no fatalities or injuries, as medical personnel had previously evacuated patients from the facility, he said.
