Cambodian military sources said that the Thai military has staged a military drill near the disputed borders with live ammunitions and live bombs dropped from military planes, reports everyday.com.
The sources said that the sounds of bomb explosions dropped from Thai military planes can be heard from as far O'Smach town in Ouddor Meanchey province. People said that they heard two loud bomb explosions in what they believed was a military exercise staged by Thai forces.
Reaksmei Kampuchea newspaper reported that on the afternoon of Thursday 25th, Thai and Cambodian border military leaders had met in O'Smach inside Cambodia. The agenda or the results of the closed door meeting had not been revealed.
In a separate news, Cambodian military sources told Reaksmei Kampuchea newspaper that about 600 Thai royal guards or Thai paramilitary forces had staged a military drill by using artillery live ammunitions at a military training camp (Military Region One) at the former Khmer refugee camp of Khao-I-Dang in Taphraya district of Thailand's Sakeo province, about 16 kilometres from Cambodia's Thmor Puok district of Banteay Meanchey province.
Cambodian military sources also said that at Krosaing Barracks in Thapthai commune of Taphraya district, the Thai military had doubled its troop numbers. In areas of Sakeo province, opposite Cambodia's Banteay Meanchey province, and in other areas near Aranyaprathet town, the Thai military had also doubled its reinforcements by bringing more military hardwares in a show of force.
In Kantaralak area in Sisaket, opposite Preah Vihear temple where two armed clashes had erupted, the Thai military had also staged a civilian evacuation drill of Thai villagers with reports saying that the villagers had been moved 10 kilometres deeper inside Thai territories.
Cambodian sources from Thmor Daun village in Oudoor Meanchey province, opposite Phnom Dongrak district of Surin province, said that a group of Thai soldiers from Battalion 2606 had come to order the Cambodian villagers at the eastern end of the village to dismantle their home fences and also to dismantle a cow shed as well as stop toiling their own ricefields.
The same sources said that the Cambodian border police flatly rejected the Thai threats by saying that the Cambodian families had owned the lands for a long time and that the lands are located in Khmer territories in accordance with the 1904 treaty maps.

The Thais are deliberately dropping bombs, mobilising forces because they want to show off their military prowess. This is another way of intimidation and provocation.
The Thais want also to scare and to send a message to Cambodia that its military is far more superior than Cambodian army.
