Suspected drones were seen flying over several areas in northeastern Thailand amid territorial tensions along the Cambodian border.

Footage shows a speck of light flickering in the dark sky near the Central Korat mall in Nakhon Ratchasima, early morning today.

A resident Premsak Lamnuan also claimed a drone had followed his car home when he stopped to see a blinking light overhead near a forest.

The Udomsap Police Station said they received reports from community leaders about multiple suspected drones circling villages, some 28 miles from a military camp.

The sightings sparked alarm as Thailand's Civil Aviation Authority has banned all drone activity from July 30 to August 15. Residents said they feared the flying machines were fitted with weapons or were deployed for surveillance.

Authorities have not confirmed the origin or purpose of the suspected unmanned aerial devices.

A bloody military confrontation flared in long-disputed border areas as Thailand and Cambodia accused each other of instigating the violence on July 24.

The Thai army claimed the clash began when six armed Cambodian soldiers approached a Thai outpost after a drone was heard near a disputed Khmer temple, which has been occupied by Thailand for decades. Thai troops said they shouted warnings and claimed the Cambodians opened fire first.

However, Cambodia's Defence Ministry accused Thailand of provoking the violence, saying its forces acted in self-defence.

Officials said at least 43 people have been killed and more than 300,000 displaced on both sides of the border.

Both sides have reached a truce at midnight on Monday, following talks facilitated by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

He said: 'This is a vital first step toward de-escalation and the restoration of peace and security.'

US President Donald Trump had earlier threatened to pause trade deals with both countries if clashes continued.

He said after the ceasefire was forged: 'By ending this War, we have saved thousands of lives ... I have now ended many Wars in just six months — I am proud to be the President of PEACE!'

However, Thai authorities accused Cambodia of allegedly violating the armistice, claiming Khmer soldiers were firing into Thai territory until Wednesday morning.

Thai government spokesman Jirayu Huangsab said the Thai army has 'maintained control of the situation' and the general conditions along the border were 'normal'.
