Just hours before the ceasefire deadline, the Royal Thai Air Force deployed two F-16 fighter jets late on the night of 28 July, to carry out precision bombing missions near the embattled Ta Kwai Temple, targeting Cambodian supply lines and artillery emplacements.

 

Military sources confirmed that the strike aimed to sever key logistical routes and neutralise heavy weaponry which have been providing support to Cambodian forces operating in the area. The mission was declared a success, with both aircraft returning safely to base.

 

The aerial offensive came after a day of intense ground clashes at what has been dubbed the “Ta Kwai battlefield,” as Thai special forces confronted elite Cambodian troops from the Bodyguard Headquarters (BHQ) unit. Cambodian reinforcements were reportedly attempting to consolidate control over the strategic zone before the midnight ceasefire deadline.

 

Security officials said the fiercest fighting occurred in a designated “red zone” around the temple, a site symbolically and militarily significant.

 

The situation remains tense, but the front line has gone quiet with the ceasefire, agreed upon to taking effect from midnight.

It shows the aggression of Thailand, while they agreed to a ceasefire, they must damage things first as long as it is possible... I am always wondering why Thailand and Thai people can blow up small things in big problems and than have to solve and repair the damages...

A dripping tap is not repaired until that tap caused so much damage that the whole bathroom must be repaired...and than starting to complain that it cost so much money... If the tap was repaired when it dripped no problems would have happened.. This is a similar case.. a few hours before ceasefire attack, as Cambodia , who is already weaker is not able to  and have no intention to respond...

Maybe it's not the case but...It has already been proven that the government's decisions do not go hand in hand with those of the army.🤔
