Clashes With Cambodia Could Now Turn Into War, Thai Prime Minister Says

Acting Prime Minister of Thailand, Phmatham, has expressed concern over the growing border clash with the Cambodian army that border clashes can now take a move.

According to foreign media, 16 people have been killed and several injured in the border tension between Thailand and Cambodia yesterday.

Due to tensions, about one million people have been displaced from the Thai border area, while 10,000 people have also been shifted from border areas to Cambodia.

Thai and Cambodian authorities are charged with each other.

Thai officials say hospitals and schools were targeted by the Cambodian military with missiles, in response to which the Thai army targeted the Cambodian army hideouts.

On the other hand, Cambodia’s Land Mine Authority says cluster shelling by Thailand is a serious violation of humanitarian principles.

Talking to media representatives in Bangkok, Acting Prime Minister of Bhailand, Phamtham, said that if the border tension with Cambodia increases, it could take a war, but the situation is currently limited to clashes.
