Cambodian troops have moved five BM-21 multiple rocket launcher vehicles near the Thai border ahead of the International Court of Justice’s decision on Cambodia’s complaint against Thailand, a Thai military source said.

The source said the rocket launcher vehicles were deployed near Preah Vihear Temple.

The source said the exact location of the launchers had yet to be detected. He said the artillery unit would be able to detect the launchers if rockets are fired at Thailand.
