Army condemns Cambodia for repeatedly breaking ceasefire agreement
The spokesman of the Royal Thai Army denounced Cambodia for repeatedly breaking the Thai-Cambodian ceasefire agreement reached early this week.
Maj Gen Winthai Suvaree, spokesman for the army, told the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand that the Cambodian attack with rifles and hand grenades happened in Phu Makhuea in Thailand's Si Sa Ket province at about 9pm on Tuesday.
'The use of weapons was inappropriate because it is the time of ceasefire and the period that we must have mutual trust. The army must condemn this kind of action. This is the second time for the use of weapons during the ceasefire agreement,' the spokesman said.
'Cambodia has not observed the agreed rule,' Maj Gen Winthai said.
The army spokesman also said that Thai forces remained along the border for surveillance and did not use their weapons.
He denied the rumour that drones were used to attack Wing 21 in nearby Ubon Ratchathani province. The spokesman said that some roof tiles were blown by strong winds.
Government spokesman Jirayu Houngsub said via the Facebook page of Government House Wednesday morning that Cambodian troops fired rifles and threw hand grenades at Thai soldiers in Phu Makhuea area in the northeastern province of Si Sa Ket.
The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on Wednesday that Cambodian attacks in Phu Makhuea area continued until Wednesday morning and they happened after both countries' ceasefire agreement had taken effect at midnight on Monday night.
'Such act of aggression constitutes once again a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement by Cambodian forces and their apparent lack of good faith,' the ministry said.
'Thailand reiterates its full commitment to the ceasefire and the peaceful resolution of the current situation and strongly calls on Cambodia to immediately cease all violations and return to full compliance with the said ceasefire agreement,' it said.
