Thai army issues warning after border mortar incident

Thai Army Signals to Cambodia After Mortar Round Hits Border Area

The Royal Thai Army issued a warning to Cambodian authorities after a mortar round accidentally landed in Ubon Ratchathani province, injuring one Thai soldier near the shared frontier. Cambodian officials later described the incident as an unintentional misfire by their personnel. Thailand’s military has stated it will respond under self-defence rules if similar incidents recur. Forces on both sides have been in a heightened state of alert amid efforts to maintain a fragile calm following last year’s border clashes. Residents in the border districts were told that daily life could continue normally as the situation is being closely monitored.
