The 2nd Army Area Regional Command reported that the Cambodian side violated the ceasefire agreement, with disturbances and weapon attacks found in multiple areas. The Thai side therefore responded accordingly to the situation. Regarding a meeting between military unit leaders in the area, the Army spokesperson revealed that efforts to proceed with the meeting are postponed until further notice.
The Royal Thai Army received a report from the 2nd Army Area Command regarding the situation along the Thai-Cambodia border. After the Thai side complied with the ceasefire agreement after 24:00 hours and closely monitored and tracked the frontline situation, military units in the area reported Cambodian military operations in multiple incidents throughout the night until this morning.
Disturbances and the use of supporting weapons firing into Thai territory were found in several areas, including Chong Bok area, Chong Anma area, Sam Tae area, Prasat Ta Kwai area, and Phu Ma Kheua area. The Thai side responded to the situation by deploying frontline forces and using supporting weapons to suppress the Cambodian military operations.
The Royal Thai Army clarified that the Thai side strictly complied with the said agreement by implementing a ceasefire in the Thai-Cambodia border area immediately upon the designated time with sincere intentions and firm adherence to the mutual commitment agreed upon by both governments.
However, it is deeply regrettable that at the designated time, the Thai side continued to detect that the Cambodian side had used weapons to attack Thai territory at multiple points, which constitutes a deliberate violation of the agreement with the intention of destroying the system of mutual trust.The Royal Thai Army therefore condemns such actions, and the Thai side finds it necessary to implement appropriate retaliatory measures under the legitimate right of self-defense. The Royal Thai Army affirms that the Thai side did not use military force for aggression but to defend against encroachment and maintain national sovereignty under international rules.”
Additionally, the Army Spokesperson disclosed regarding the scheduled meeting between military unit leaders of both sides, which was planned to be held this morning, that it is postponed until further notice…………………………………………………
