(Phnom Penh): The Liaison Team of Military Region 4 of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces on 25 May 2026 contacted Thailand's Army Area 2 to inquire about and confirm the case involving a total of 8 gunshots heard on the night of 24 May 2026, which were suspected to have been fired from the Thai side.

According to the report, five shots were heard at 7:57 p.m. in the Phnom Trob area and three more at 8:08 p.m. in the Phnom Sambok Khmum area of Preah Vihear Province.

Cambodia requested that the Thai side investigate the incidents, strictly enforce military discipline, and fully comply with the Joint Statement of the Cambodia–Thailand General Border Committee dated December 27, 2025.

At the same time, the Ministry of National Defence categorically rejected the unsubstantiated slander alleging that Cambodian soldiers caused a disturbance yesterday evening by firing two rounds of gunfire in the Phnom Trob area, declaring it to be false information and reaffirming that the Cambodian armed forces have strictly adhered to its discipline.
