Phnom Penh/Bangkok – Cambodia on Friday denied having anything to do with the death of a Thai soldier allegedly killed on the border overnight, hours after a ceasefire agreement.
General Prayuth Chan-ocha, chief of the Thai army, said earlier that Cambodia renewed their shelling of Thai positions after Thursday’s agreement, killing one soldier.
A spokesman for the Cambodian government denied the accusation, saying that the Thai forces broke the ceasefire.
‘Yesterday night, we did not fire a single shot back to Thailand,‘ Phay Siphan said Friday. He said he felt Thailand had agreed to the truce only to ‘prepare another offensive.’
He said the Thai military had fired six mortar shells into Cambodian territory overnight in a ‘provocative act.’ ‘But we restrain ourselves and we don’t return fire,’ he said.
