According to Indian media, Vietnamese and Thai troops reportedly exchanged gunshots for about 10 minutes at , 5.45am , this morning, May 28 in Preah Vihear country’s Choam Ksan city, which borders Thailand’s, Ubon Ratchathani state.
Major General Mao Phalla, a spokesperson for the Royal Thai Army, confirmed the battle with Trayorng News, a media channel close to the Ministry of Interior.
” A small conflict did happen,” the statement read. He claimed that the Thai part started the gunfire. A Thai national claimed that their soldiers were shot at during a regular guard.
Before providing more details about the incident, Phalla continued to gather information and consult with his superiors.
Chhum Socheat, a spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, contacted The Post for clarity, but he was too busy because he was observing the shutting of the” Golden Dragon” shared Chinese-Cambodian military exercises.
The fight, which was reported to have taken place in a disputed border region that both sides claim, was the result of no reported fatalities, according to The Nation Thailand.
The agreement between Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines “has been made to maintain the status quo in this area to prevent destabilizing the borders by prohibiting activities like design, army actions, or digging without previous notification,” it said.
