This is a ChatGPT-generated article about a purported ambush. That includes the AI searching out the references itself. This can be seen on the nlb url in the first version, and otherwise confirmed by the users various talkpage posts, and a similar AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Malaccan-Siamese war. Now, while it appears there was indeed some military incident that did kill 8 people, I am unsure if it is notable as a standalone incident. Some of the sources listed are just photos with none of the supposed information, others are broken gbooks links with no preview (based on other now deleted articles and drafts, I am fully confident the AI just made the book references up and the author never checked them anyway). Others do mention an incident did occur (eg), but they date it to February 28, so ChatGPT got that wrong. At a quick BEFORE, I do find the incident mentioned elsewhere (eg), but nothing I'd be happy to say is in-depth coverage. In any case, even if there is sustained coverage (who knows, it might be in a book), the made up text and sources probably mean this is a WP:TNT case that would need to be written from scratch anyway.
