⚠️Fake News from Thailand
Thai media have collectively spread false reports accusing Cambodia of “firing M79 gr***de launchers at Thai military positions in the area opposite Veal Intri in Preah Vihear Province.”
In response to this false information, the Cambodian Ministry of National Defence stated that the accusation was baseless and unreasonable.
“The Ministry regards these publications as deliberate misinformation and a serious distortion of facts intended to create confusion, mislead public opinion, and escalate tensions along the border,” it stated.
Moreover, in response to this disinformation campaign, the Command Post of Information of the Ministry of National Defence of Cambodia issued a formal letter of protest to the Thai Joint Information Center (JIC).
Furthermore, reports from the frontline indicate that during the inaugural mission of the ASEAN Observer Team (HOM AOT)—conducted under the Philippine Chairmanship to observe, verify, and report on the situation at the Preah Vihear Temple World Heritage Site—the Thai side detonated three pieces of unexploded ordnance (UXO) without prior notification to the Cambodian side.
The Ministry of National Defence called on the Thai side to immediately cease the publication of misleading information and return to the faithful implementation of all existing agreements. Only through such honesty can both sides ensure a rapid recovery and the restoration of normalcy, peace, stability, and long-term security along the border.
