Phnom Penh – The United Nations has moved six staff out of Koh Kong town near Cambodia’s southern border with Thailand after both nations reportedly boosted troop numbers in the area.
UN security officials told staff by email that travel to Koh Kong town, capital of the province of the same name and 8 kilometres from the border, was restricted ‘until further notice.’
The UN email, seen by the German Press Agency dpa, said up to 70 per cent of the town’s population had left due to tensions on the southern border.
The UN has also evacuated staff from areas near the 11th-century temple of Preah Vihear on the northern border, the site of clashes that have killed at least nine people in the past fortnight.
