BANGKOK — Thai authorities have seized more than 2,500 suspicious drones as part of a security operation after unidentified drones were detected flying near Suvarnabhumi Airport, officials said Tuesday.
The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission said it had received reports of suspicious drone activity near the airport, with the devices appearing similar to swarm models used in Ukraine’s attacks on Russian military targets.
The discovery prompted coordination with security agencies to assess potential risks. Authorities said the drones may have been smuggled into Thailand by land and later assembled or deployed domestically, raising concerns about a new form of security threat.
Security agencies later seized more than 2,500 drones during the operation. Officials said the seized drones are under examination and did not confirm whether they were directly linked to the devices previously seen flying near the airport or to the conflict with Cambodia.
Further details will be released after the investigation, authorities said.
