Thai military commanders admitted that the area where the clash took place on Tuesday the 8th of June was a Cambodian territory and alleged that it used as a training base by the red shirt supporters of ex-Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra, reports Reaksmey Kampuchea.

On the morning of 8th June, a group of Cambodian and Thai troops briefly clashed while patrolling on the border area at O'Chambok Point near Choup Roun area in Tropeang Prasat district of Oddar Meanchey province.

Gen. Nuon Nov, Deputy Commander of Cambodian Military Region Four, said after the clash Thai commanders came to apologise to the Cambodian troops about clash and said the spot where the clash took place was a Cambodian territory. Mr. Mok Sovan, Commander of Oddar Meanchey Military Operations, said those Thai commanders also alleged that the area where the clash took place was a training camp for the anti-government red shirt movement, an allegation strongly denied by the Cambodian military.

Mr. Mok Sovan said during the meeting, the Cambodian side asked the Thai side to withdraw one kilometre from the clash site, which they withdrew the next day.

The Cambodian military claimed that during the 15-minute clash, Thai troops fled their position leaving behind two water bottles, two military uniforms, 3 magazines of M-16 riffles, 60 rounds of M-16 bullets and a diary with a picture of the young Thai king in it as well as pictures of Thai Commander-in-Chief Gen. Anupong Paochinda as well as pictures of other Thai military leaders.

Gen. Kun Kim, Cambodian Deputy Commander-in-Chief who visited the clash site on 9th June, has ordered the Cambodian troops to defend Cambodian territory at all cost telling them to use self-defence in the eventuality of an encroachment and violation.

Do these Thai scumbags think that we Cambodian are a bunch of morons?
What evidence do they have to say that the area was used by the Red guerillas. We're not that stupid.
If they stray into our territory again we should use deadly force.

Damn I'm tired of hearing Cambodian troops letting these Thai thieves getting away. If I'm station over there, I wouldn't let these thieves getting away like that. To me, these Thai thieves are so lucky because of Cambodian troops are being to soft on them. Cambodian troops needs to be more aggressive on their enemies.
If they crossed inside your territory,,,u shoot them or try to capture for interogations.
