The current administration wouldn't have to resort to these tactics if brain dead President didn't allow millions to enter illegally. Now that is doing it all wrong! -

Border Cambodian BM-21 Rocket Strike Hits Petrol Station, Injures Dozens Including Students
UPDATE Husband Devastated After Wife and Two Children Killed in Cambodian Rocket Strike Pictures courtesy of Amarin A man has been left emotionally shattered after his wife and two children were killed when a Cambodian BM-21 rocket struck a convenience store in a PTT petrol station in Sisaket province. The tragedy unfolded as the family of four stopped at the station after picking up their children from school, which had closed early due to escalating border hostilities. The mother and her children, a 15-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son, entered the store to buy snacks, while the father briefly went to use the restroom. Moments later, a rocket fired from Cambodian territory hit the premises, killing all three inside. The victims’ family home is in Ban Deang Noi, Kantharalak District, some 30 kilometres from the Cambodian border. Speaking to the press, Mr Surasak Chaipakdee, a relative of the deceased, said the village had never previously been affected by conflict-related shelling and residents had assumed it was out of range. “I was talking with relatives about how the fighting couldn’t possibly reach here,” he said. “Not five minutes later, we heard the explosion and saw smoke rising from the PTT station. We had no idea our loved ones were there until we received the heartbreaking news.” According to Mr Surasak, the father, identified as Mr Pao and his wife, Mrs Rung, had driven to collect their children after schools were closed for safety reasons. The stop at the petrol station was part of their usual routine. Their daughter was reportedly thrown from the building by the force of the blast and died outside, while Mrs Rung and her young son perished inside the shop. The grieving father has since been taken to stay with relatives in Nong Sanom, Det Udom District, Ubon Ratchathani province, due to his mental state. Mr Surasak added that the village has now been partially evacuated, with children and the elderly moved to safer areas. “Only the men remain to guard the homes and property,” he said. “But we’re all afraid. No one expected a rocket would hit a petrol station filled with civilians.” Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-07-25 -

Border Thai and Cambodian Troops Clash Near Ta Muen Thom Temple
@sungod My point is, you can't believe anything we are told. Why would Cambodia refuse to talk about the contested areas yet propose independent adjudication? On the face of it, a very reasonable approach. Who planted the mines? We don't know. Who fired first? We don't know. All I do know is it may suit Thailand and Cambodia to have this dispute.
