Army bans drones, warning national security is not a game

10 Sept 15:58Key points summarised by AI

The Thai Army has issued an urgent nationwide ban on drones, particularly over military zones, authorizing the destruction of any devices found and tasking regional commands with strict enforcement.
The ban stems from numerous drone sightings, including over border conflict shelters, and considers drones over military areas a serious national security threat, permitting 'soft kill' (electronic disruption) or 'hard kill' (direct fire) tactics.
Operating drones in restricted areas is deemed espionage under national security laws, carrying severe penalties up to life imprisonment or death, prompting the army to launch a public awareness campaign and urge citizens to report suspicious activity.
