Bangkok: "Jirayu" reiterates that Cambodia opened fire on Thai soldiers first, with clear evidence. Jirayu emphasizes that Cambodia played dirty by opening fire on Thai soldiers first, condemning them as bloodthirsty and war-thirsty people who released false news for international political gain, emphasizing that the state is taking action in all dimensions, assigning the army and related agencies to take care of the 7 border provinces.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Jirayu Huangsap, spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office, stated on the program 'Sai Jak Jai Thai Khu Fa' about the clash between Thailand and Cambodia that there were many dirty tricks by high-ranking Cambodian personnel, while Thailand had been patient, and Cambodia was the one who opened fire on the Thai soldiers first. Then there was a retaliation, leading to injuries and deaths. What is condemnable as being bloodthirsty and war-thirsty is the firing of artillery, which is a multi-barrel gun, hitting people's houses, gas stations, convenience stores, and hospitals, causing injuries and deaths. He summarized the situation over the past 2 days of the clash between Thailand and Cambodia and emphasized that in terms of Thailand and Cambodia, they have been patient and tolerant all along. The situation clearly shows that Cambodia has been provoking all along. Since January, Cambodia has released many false news stories, which are news that takes credit for oneself and blame s others. This is considered slander for international political gain.
The F16 operations counterattack, Mr. Jirayu said that Thailand has set clear goals and can return to the air base in an orderly manner. There is clear evidence with modern technology that can convey that Cambodia has violated the war whether it be by firing cannons or BM 21 rifles that have fallen on hospitals, convenience stores, and civilian homes, which is considered ungentlemanly. This morning at 8:00 a.m., the situation is still retaliating. We will not give up and must firmly maintain our sovereignty.
'The case of Cambodia is a violation of many international treaties. It is considered inhumanely cruel and thirsty for war. They do not care about anything at all. Especially hospitals. They do not shoot at people's houses. They do not shoot at each other. I do not know what to call this. I would like to emphasize that the government is taking action in every dimension. They have given authority to the army and related government agencies, especially the Ministry of Defense, to coordinate with the Royal Thai Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the 1st and 2nd Army Areas that oversee the 7 border provinces of Thailand and Cambodia. I would like to send my encouragement for this battle to return Thailand's sovereignty,' said Mr. Jirayu.
