Tension between Thailand and Cambodia continues to escalate! Thailand has used chemical weapons! The Cambodian military spokesperson Sok Chanty claimed in a press conference this morning that the Thai army has used chemical weapons in several battle zones along the Cambodian border.
"Today marks the fifth day of Thailand's invasion, and the Thai army is deploying increasingly dangerous heavy weapons and large numbers of troops, which clearly violates the sovereignty of Cambodia. These actions threaten global peace and order, violating the principles of the UN and ASEAN charters, as well as international law."
Sok Chanty emphasized that yesterday afternoon, Thai fighter jets dropped toxic gas-filled shells in the Anseas area, and in Phnom Khmouch, the Thai army used suicide drones, cluster bombs, and chemical weapons.
Despite the fact that leaders of Cambodia and Thailand have traveled to Malaysia for emergency ceasefire talks today, the Thai army is still continuing its attack.
Regarding the accusations from the Cambodian side, the Thai military immediately responded, accusing Cambodia of "lying and deceiving the world every day, trying to establish legitimacy through deception."
The Thai armed forces firmly rejected Sok Chanty's allegations that the Thai army had invaded Cambodian territory and used chemical weapons in military operations, calling it an unfounded accusation and a serious distortion of information.
"Thailand has never had a policy of developing, producing, possessing or using chemical weapons under any circumstances. It strictly complies with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and also fulfills international humanitarian obligations, placing the safety of innocent civilians first."
