The military situations at the border areas of O'Chak Chreng, which sometimes called just Chak Chreng, have become very tense after the Thai military reinforced more troops to the areas and ordered bulldozers to start bulldozing at the disputed areas, reports Kampuchea Thmey.
Reports from the border frontline said the military stand off on the morning of Monday 15th at O'Chak Chreng's Border Pillar No.8, located about 5 kilometres west of Preah Vihear temple, nearly lead to armed clashes when Thai troops intransigently bulldozing the forbidden areas. In the afternoon, 4 truckloads of Thai troops, equivalent to about 300 soldiers, were seen arriving at the site. The Cambodian commanders based in the areas said the situations could lead to armed clashes if Thai troops still intransigently pushing into Cambodian territories.
Gen. Srey Doek, commander of Division 3 in charge of the Preah Vihear operations, said the situations at O'Chak Chreng's Border Pillar No. 8 was tense as have been reported because Thai troops had bulldozed the forbidden areas and due to the deployments of 300 extra Thai troops to the areas. By 4pm, those Thai troops still had not been withdrawn yet. However, 1,000 Cambodian troops deployed in the areas had not been withdrawn either, unless Thai troops are withdrawn first, he said.
Gen. Srey Doek said, on top of troop deployments, the Thai military had ordered the laying of hundreds of Claymore landmines around Border Pillar No.8 which is against the Ottawa Treaty which bans the laying of new landmines which Thailand is a signatory.
