| 2011-02-17 |
| [Straits Times] A THAI soldier was maimed on Tuesday in a new skirmish on the tense Cambodian border, Thailand's military said, just hours after the UN appealed for a permanent ceasefire in the disputed area. 'Cambodia threw hand grenades into Thailand this morning,' Thai army front man Colonel Sunsern Kaewkumnerd said, describing it as a minor incident. 'One Thai soldier was injured.' A Cambodian military commander near the border who did not wish to be named denied the accusation, saying Thai troops regularly threw grenades but Cambodian forces did not retaliate. |
