Thai forces seized Chinese-made 5th generation GAM-102LR anti-tank missiles from Cambodian troops at the Mount 500 hilltop base, Chong An Ma border pass.
The captured 'fire and forget' missiles, produced by China's Poly Defense Company, are designed to target tanks and reinforced structures, having been publicly exhibited for the first time this year.
This seizure occurs amidst escalating border clashes, which have led to the death of a Thai medic and prompted evacuation orders for civilians in high-risk sub-districts.

Yesterday 15:20 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
