A Thai army official said a unique fatality in a long, vulnerable frontier region resulted from a Thai soldier being killed on Wednesday after an exchange of gunfire with the Thai army at the border. One of our soldiers perished in the conflict, and some others were hurt, but we haven’t received any specifics as of yet, according to Thai Royal Army official Mao Phalla. The clash occurred after Thai soldiers began firing near Ubon Ratchathani province in the south of Thailand, according to a statement from the Royal Thai Army. According to the Thai military speech, Thai soldiers opened fire in response to the noises from Cambodia’s border army, which lasted for about 10 minutes before the Cambodians requested a peace. Although Mao Phalla acknowledged that there were” clashes,” he claimed that Thai soldiers had attacked Cambodian troops who were conducting border patrols in northern Preah Vihear province, which borders Ubon Ratchathani. Our men perished in the pits. He claimed that the Thais came to harm us. In Preah Vihear, a remote frontier town, Cambodia and Thailand engaged in terrible military conflicts in 2008 over the page of a prehistoric Khmer church. Prior to the International Court of Justice’s decision to grant the contested place belonged to Cambodia, the dispute over a plot of land next to the 900-year-old Preah Vihear church lasted for several years of occasionally violent crime, resulting in at least 28 fatalities.
