On July 25th, local time, the spokesperson for the Cambodian Ministry of Defence, Marie Sutheejda, stated that the news report by the Thai National Newspaper about the Thai military’s occupation of Bokor Chai and Koh Siak temples is false. To date, these two temples are still under the control of the Cambodian military.
The Thai side has yet to respond to this.
On the morning of the 24th, a firefight broke out between Thailand and Cambodia at their border region, with both sides accusing each other of opening fire first. On the 25th, another firefight occurred at the border region, with artillery shelling heard at 2:00, 3:00, and 5:00 in the early hours of the day. (Reported by Fu Xinri)
