Shocking images have emerged showing the aftermath of an artillery strike on a subdistrict health centre in Si Sa Ket province, after Cambodian forces shelled Thai territory on July 26.

The attack, part of escalating cross-border hostilities, saw heavy artillery rounds land on the Thai side of the border, with one shell striking the Subdistrict Health Promoting Hospital in Si Sa Ket. The building sustained significant damage.
