A loud explosion in the sky rocked Preah Vihear province on Wednesday, with debris from a small unmanned aircraft falling 17 km from the province's historical temple, local media said on Friday.
After the explosion, a piece of debris weighing around 20 kg fell on Ta Mey village in Choam Khsan district, said Nuth Teng, a provincial army bureau chief, adding that the unmanned aircraft may have belonged to the Thai military.
Cambodian aviation officials assumed that the debris came from a remote controlled aircraft, saying that it could be a Thai training plane, reported Cambodian-language newspaper the Moneaksekar Khmer.
Witnesses at the time thought the sound was an airplane exploding in mid-air, reported another Cambodian-language newspaper the Kampuchea Thmey.
"It may have accidentally shot out from a (military) exercise in Thailand," Nuth Teng said, adding that investigators after the incident tried to collect and reassemble the craft but were unable to say exactly what it was, reported English-language newspaper the Cambodia Daily.
Thai officials denied at the time that such an incident had occurred, it added.
Cambodian Defense Minister Tea Banh has yet to show any reaction to the issue, reasoning that he had not been fully informed of the incident.
The explosion did not kill or injure any villagers.

What is going on here?! The Thaicong don't have enough air space to do their fucken target practice shooting? Who the fuck they think they are?
The Thaicong have remote controlled toy spy plane? Ahahahah!
As far as I am concerned the fucken Thaicong had violated Cambodian air space according to international law and AH HUN SEN stupid fuck officials don't even know about it?!
Oh let me guess! The Thaicong owned Cambodian radar system that explains why AH HUN SEN officials couldn't verify what it was!
If the fucken Thaicong technology is so high tech and how come they don't use it in Iraq and they choose to send their military back home from Iraq in less than a year! Ahahhahah
Nowadays, it seems that only the Thaicong know how to make war.
Fucken shrimp among whale want to shine over Cambodia? Don't forget that Preah Vihear temple will always belong to Cambodia! It is about time for Cambodian people to tell those Jap to stop burning Cambodian people weapons!
To Moneak Seika Khmer News.
I hope this advise going to be all our Cambodia's benefit please do not use the words may be nor assume ,please use good intelligent or good investigators,before you issue your article,or Thai will be refused or make fool out of of Cambodia this matter it is not a small matter,this is invasion of our territory so collect all accurate evidence and bring that Thai go to court about using our Air space illegal, Did you see when our beloved one cross the border to get the jobs illegally in Thailand?
please play smarter.
How come every time our leader is questioned, he would say he doesn't know anything about it. So the reporters know before the leaders? What does that say?
This is a serious matter not to take for granted for such a plane flew over our territory. Cambodia is a sovereign nation, anything like this is amount to an act of aggression for whatever intent. We are lucky that it is a small plan and no what got hurt. What if it is bomb or missle? Who holds responsibility? Would the Cambodian government knows where it came frmo? The Cambodian government has a duty to protect the nation and all of its citizens from any kind of security risk. It may seem like a small mistake, but the Cambodian government has the responsibility and the duty of investigating it.
and demand the apology for this mistake.
