Cambodia is once again spreading rumors about the Thai army's attack! The Cambodian side released a message, believing that the Thai army would launch another attack on Cambodia on August 13th or August 14th. The blogger has not published any articles because he was waiting for the final confirmation, but as of the afternoon of August 14th, the Thai army did not launch an attack. Mainly, Cambodia is a bit nervous, because after August 10th, the landmines set by Cambodian soldiers caused trouble.
It has continuously injured Thai border patrol soldiers, causing several people to be injured and disabled. The direct cause of the previous war between Thailand and Cambodia was that six Thai soldiers were injured by landmines, so Thailand really got angry and launched an attack. This time, there are also Thai soldiers who have been injured by landmines, so Cambodia has reason to believe that if it happens again, the Thai army may launch an attack. Anyway, whether or not the attack will actually happen is uncertain, but Cambodia will issue a warning in advance.
Cambodia has asked the troops in the border area to strengthen their defenses. Whatever the case, the habit of the Cambodian army to plant landmines at the border is very shameful. If two countries are confronting each other, they should either fight peacefully or with force. Why do you always plant landmines, blowing others up and making them disabled? What is this?
The landmines planted by Cambodia are basically anti-personnel mines. Once a soldier steps on them, they explode instantly, but they don't have much power, just breaking the legs of the soldier who stepped on the mine, causing permanent disability. This is more troublesome than directly killing the opponent. Because after being disabled, the soldier needs to be supported by Thailand for life, while if killed, it can be completely resolved with a single pension, so disabling is more tormenting than killing.
Cambodia keeps saying that the Thai army will attack because it has placed too many landmines, and it is now feeling guilty. It is highly likely that the Thai army will step on landmines again later.
