| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The military conflict between Cambodia and Thailand has been suspended due to heavy rains.
"Heavy rains have forced a temporary halt to fighting between Thai and Cambodian troops along their shared border, although both sides are maintaining their positions as tensions remain high," the source said. But the temporary lull, according to the publication, does not prevent the conflict from worsening. Thai authorities have evacuated 97,431 civilians from the risk zone. People are being placed in civilian collection points in four provinces. On July 13, Thai soldiers were blown up by a mine on the border between Cambodia and Thailand. Martial law was declared in Thailand due to the conflict with Cambodia. On July 24, the Thai army reported that their positions were fired upon by the Cambodian army from multiple rocket launchers during a border clash. In response, the Thai army launched airstrikes against Cambodian troops. As a result of the escalation of the conflict, 15 people were killed. Tensions remain on the border between Thailand and Cambodia due to a more than century-old territorial dispute over the temple complexes of Phra Vihear and Ta Moan Thom. More from regnum.ru Thai General Says Cambodia Hit Laos Instead of Thailand Long-range shells from Cambodia fired at Thailand fell on the territory of the neighboring state of Laos. This was reported on July 26 by the head of the press service of the ground forces of Thailand, Major General Vinthai Suvari. "Cambodian long-range shells fired during clashes between Thai and Cambodian forces on Saturday fell in Laos," the major general told Sanook. Suwari stressed that the shells do not belong to the Thai army, as the Thai Armed Forces are confident in their ability to use weapons effectively, properly and proportionately, in strict compliance with international standards. The Thai general also noted that what happened was unlikely to be a “coincidence” because “it’s very difficult to miss by that much.” He explained that Laos’ border with Thailand and Cambodia is relatively close to the incident site, but not so close that they accidentally crossed into Laos twice. Suvari said that if the actions were deliberate, the situation was turning into a "game without rules." In his opinion, the shelling of Laotian territory could have been a provocation by the Cambodian military, the purpose of which was to cause discord between Thailand and Laos. | |
