There are reports that there is a mine explosion on Tuesday night at the areas where fighting between Khmer and Thai troops took place on the 15th of October which caused the Khmer soldiers to take up positions.
Many Khmer soldiers at Prolean Entry, Phnom Trop and at the frontline areas near Preah Vihear temple took up positions from Tuesday night until Wednesday morning when they heard a mine explosion 250 metres from their positions at Prolean Entry.
Deputy Commander of Division 43, Col. Bun Thean, said that at 11 PM on Tuesday night there was a mine explosion 250 metres from the frontline, but till Wednesday morning they still didn't know what exactly caused the mine to explode. He added that maybe the animals stepped on it or maybe the Thai soldiers stepped on it because the Cambodian soldiers dared not go to check the area because it was laden with landmines left from a long time ago.
Col. Bun Thean said: "We heard the explosion at 11 o'clock and 10 minutes last night. But when I asked our soldiers to check they didn't find anything. We did not dare to go deep into that area."
On Wednesday, the Thai military cannot be contacted for the information about whether there were any Thai soldiers who were injured from the explosion.
But a Khmer military official from Division 12 said that at around 8 AM on Wednesday, they saw a Thai helicopter landed near the explosion site but they are sure if the helicopter came to pick up the wounded soldiers or came for other purposes. He said: "This morning we saw a helicopter landed there but we are not sure if it came to pick up the wounded soldiers or for other purposes."
Sources from the Cambodian soldiers said that after they heard the explosion, both the Cambodian and Thai soldiers jumped into their trenches and stayed there until the next morning.
In relation to mine clearing, Chairman of Cambodian Border Committee, Mr. Var Kim, said that on Tuesday morning he when to the disputed zone at Preah Vihear to investigate the sites for mine clearing for future border demarcations, if the Thai agrees to do the same thing.//

No wonder. THAIS keep sending the troops in. Hun Sen should be ON ALERT. Never trust them. If Thais believe they can win the frontline war, they will fight us any time, and then accuse Khmers for starting first. Do not risk any live of Khmer soldier. No bilateral talk; and they are just buying time in order to study our weakness. HS do not be stupid with aggressors.
You are not khmer that why you always want khmer getting war with thai people.Somdaech Hun Sen never believe the stupit khmer want khmer getting war.He wants to make a peace first.The khmer outside just want khmer figthing and they just sitdown and watching TV which one stronger than which one!! The way khmer forgot khmer landuage and khmer culture that what they want.All of those guys idea the same pol pot.
yeah because ah kvuck scares everything especially his death ,because he afraid not be able to enjoy his live too long on Cambodian blood and sweat.
Got it?
7:53 You praise your elementary school GOD?
This chicken prime minister he know nothing beside suck yours and your people blood that he can do,if he go to war he afraid Bun Rany use his five billion dollar (stolen money from Cambodian)with others her bodies guard,so why he play as mr.Nice prime minister. Yeah as you a illiterate fellowship prime minister you will be part of the traitors because Hun Sen nut,you know the word NUT.
Cambodia will be disappear with this stupid prime minister what I can tell.
The Thais are playing game, trying to sneak into Cambodia at night and got blown off by landmines. This is the price they have to pay for trying to steal someone's land. I believe that the Thai soldiers stepped on the mines, not the animals, that's why the helicopters landed there because it came to pick up the wounded Thai soldiers who stepped on the landmines. The Thai soldiers are trying to provoke a fight here.
Vietnames has never left alone the Cambodia because the Vietnames wants to control Cambodia. When Cambodian government seeks relationship more closer to other countries, Vietnam are scared to lose of its control. Then, they are trying to give warnings to the CPP not to violate the Bilateral or looking to stir up the situation. Especially, now when Thai and Cambodia has its conflict over the border, Vietnames see the opportunity to stay close or be a BIG BROTHER to Cambodia so Vietnames will do every thing or may be trowing a grenade so that they can have something to tell Cambodia government not to worry that they are there to protect the border. Oh my lord, what's a trap!!!
