The Second Army Region has rejected Cambodian claims that Thai troops fired 22 rounds near the Chong Chom border crossing in Surin, insisting troops only issued verbal warnings and warning signals after Cambodian soldiers allegedly moved closer to Thai-controlled territory.
According to military sources, Cambodian authorities claimed Thai troops fired 22 shots in two incidents on Sunday in the O'Smach–Chong Chom border area. Cambodian officials alleged troops heard 12 gunshots between 9.24am and 9.45am, followed by another 10 shots at around 10.10am from the Thai side of the border.
The Thai military denied the allegation, saying no firearms were used during the incident.
