Bangkok: It was noted that the knee wound of the Cambodian soldier did not resemble a gunshot wound. Images claiming Cambodia was shot from the Thai side at "Chong An Ma" (An Ma Pass) raise questions about the nature of the wounds; they don't resemble bullet wounds. Thailand reiterates its commitment to the GBC (General Border Committee) statement and its control of the border situation.
According to Thai News Agency, on February 22, 2069, security agencies revealed that, regarding Cambodia's claim that on February 20, 2069, at 10:45 AM, 5-7 shots were fired in the Chong An Ma area, and that one Cambodian soldier was later injured in the knee by a bullet fired from the Thai side, the Cambodian side claimed the injury originated in his right knee.
However, initial observations from wound experts indicate that the appearance of the knee wound in the image does not correspond to forensic gunshot wounds, in terms of wound type, size, and surrounding tissue condition.
For the sake of transparency and to foster a correct understanding, a thorough forensic investigation should be conducted before drawing any conclusions about the incident, especially given the ongoing border situation which requires caution and close cooperation.
However, both sides should strictly adhere to and abide by the General Border Committee (GBC) statement, particularly regarding the maintenance of forces in their respective controlled areas following the ceasefire, in order to sustainably maintain peace, stability, and good relations along the Thai-Cambodian border.
