The Second Army Region has issued a public alert, warning of the potential threat posed by Cambodian-launched PHL-03 long-range missile systems capable of striking targets up to 130 kilometres away.

 

In a post on its official Facebook page on 26 July, the army command confirmed that it is closely monitoring intelligence suggesting that Cambodia may deploy the powerful multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) to target strategic locations, including military installations, in eastern Thailand.

 

The PHL-03 is a Chinese-made artillery rocket system capable of delivering heavy firepower over a wide area. The warning emphasised that the system can fire multiple rockets simultaneously with considerable destructive capability, making it a threat to key defence positions and surrounding infrastructure.

 

In response, the Thai military confirmed it has defence systems in place capable of intercepting and neutralising such missiles and that it is operating under the existing defence protocols outlined in its protection plans.

 

Despite the reassurance, authorities urged civilians to remain alert and exercise caution. Key advice included:

 

1. Monitoring official news channels and emergency alerts.

2. Identifying safe shelter options, especially for those living near high-risk or strategic areas.

3. Keeping a safe distance from potential military targets.

4. Following any emergency instructions strictly in the event of a confirmed attack.

 

The army has asked the public not to panic but to remain vigilant and well-informed.
