Original review summary

The review found that the viral image shows a firefighting aircraft dropping fire retardant during a 2022 wildfire operation in New Mexico, not a military aircraft in Cambodia. It reports that allegations of gas attacks around July 27, 2025, were not independently verified and that available evidence did not establish the use of poisonous gas by Thai forces.[S1]
