This was not collateral damage this was calculated destruction
Satellite imagery and eyewitness reports confirm what many feared. The bombing of Prasat Preah Vihear was deliberate. The strikes were precise, targeting central structures of the temple with the apparent intention of doing maximum damage. These are not military installations. They are heritage sites. They are sacred grounds.
The damage inflicted is irreversible. Cambodians have gathered near the site in mourning, with Buddhist monks chanting beside collapsed shrines. This act must not be framed as accidental. It is a targeted attack on cultural dignity. Global silence in the face of this destruction would set a dangerous precedent.
