Screenshots from old night-vision drone videos have been circulating online in recent days which are being used to falsely claim that Thai soldiers are operating near the Cambodian border.

A reverse image search traced the pictures to a Facebook post shared early on Tuesday which claims the footage showed Thai troops planting homemade bombs under cover of darkness.

Using a fake-image detection tool, I analysed the screenshots for signs of manipulation or AI-generation, and those checks showed no signs of image tampering.

However, further analysis showed the images were not recent. One was uploaded to Getty Images’ iStock platform in 2019 and filmed in Israel. The other came from a stock-video site in 2021 with no confirmed location.

The misleading posts emerged as a truce agreed by the two countries following border clashes in July has come under strain. This week Thailand said one of its soldiers was injured by a landmine while Cambodia accused Thai forces of firing across the border.

We’re keen to hear what you think the BBC Verify team should be looking into.

We're interested in investigating claims you may've seen online in your social feeds. We're also keen to know if you've think an image may have been made using artificial intelligence to spread disinformation.

You can also get in touch with BBC Verify if you've got a question about how we verify video posted online or work with satellite imagery.

You can send your suggestions to the team here.

Satellite images reviewed by BBC Verify show Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in areas of Gaza that have remained under its control since the ceasefire with Hamas on 10 October.

This morning we’ve been verifying video said to show Russian air defences engaging a Ukrainian attack in Oryol, western Russia. In the footage, burning debris cascades around the buildings as a siren and car alarms sound.

We’ve geolocated the clip to the western edge of the city by matching the distinctive yellow and white apartment blocks and car park layout to those visible in satellite imagery on Yandex, a Russian search engine that has a mapping tool.

The footage was newly posted this morning. Oryol regional governor Andrey Klychkov posted warnings of “missile” threats to residents.

He later said Russian air defences destroyed “several objects” resulting in fragments falling in a residential area. He added cars, windows and balconies were damaged but there are no reported casualties.

This morning the Russian Ministry of Defence reported Ukrainian drone attacks over several regions including Oryol.

This wouldn’t be the first time Ukraine has targeted Oryol city. At the end of October we verified videos showing explosions in the direction of its power station.

Good morning from the team of fact-checkers, video verifiers, data journalists and disinformation debunkers here in the BBC’s London newsroom.

We’re seeing videos being shared online apparently showing burning orange shards of missile or drone debris raining down over the Russian city of Oryol. We’ve verified some of the footage and will bring you some still images here shortly.

BBC Verify’s reporter in New Delhi is checking two new videos that have surfaced following Monday’s car explosion near the historic Red Fort in the Indian capital. However, while one appears to be genuine CCTV, the other has the hallmarks of AI-generation.

And we’re across some official data that dropped this morning including the latest stats on NHS performance in England that we’ll plug into an interactive lookup tool so you can see how your local health trust is doing.
