Following the Thai accusation alleging that Cambodia sent tanks and troops to the border near Preah Vihear temple, it is now the turn of Cambodia to accuse Thailand of sending tanks and heavy artillery, as well as troops to the border. According to the Phnom Penh Post, General Yim Pim, the commander at RCAF unit 8, indicated on Sunday that Thailand sent in tanks, heavy artillery and troops to the border zone to confront Cambodian troops. Yim Pim said that, even though Thailand added tanks, heavy artillery and troops, nothing has happened yet, as of now. He said that troops from both countries are still on high alert. Chhum Socheat, spokesman for the ministry of National Defense, did not deny or confirm about this report on Thai troops, he said that it is normal for both countries to strengthen their troops along the border.
