Khmer villagers living along the borders in Boss Thom village of Kork Kposs commune in Banteay Ampil district, Ouddor Meanchey province claimed that Thai soldiers based on top of Phnom Thmor Roy (Mount Hundred Rocks) about 2 kilometres east of Ta Krabey temple have shot many artillery rounds into Khmer territories near Ta Krabey temple on the morning of 17th February, 2009.
The villagers said that they heard many rounds of artillery shot by Thai troops based on top of Phnom Thmor Roy at 11 o'clock in the morning.
The villagers said that one shell landed inside Khmer territories about 3 kilometres from their village causing panic among the villagers. One village said: "The Thai soldiers based on top of Phnom Thmor Roy fired the artillery... The villagers here all heard the sounds..... they are the sounds of artillery fires. Some shells landed on the mountain and about 10 shells landed on the foot of the mountain causing the people to gather their children in a safe place."
The Thai soldiers cannot be contacted for any comments regarding the allegations.
Khmer military officers from Battalion 42 said that at around 12 midday on Tuesday (17th) they heard many rounds of artillery shelling but they don't know of the reasons why the Thai side shelled the Khmer territories. Now, the Cambodian border troops have been sent to investigate. The same officer said: "Yes, there are shelling..artillery shelling. I cannot tell you in details because I don't know yet. My troops have been sent to investigate the matters."
Brig-Gen. Pov Heng, Deputy Commander of the Northern Region, said through telephone that there were shelling but he did not know of the reasons. He said: "We are sending our troops to investigate the matters."
Until 2 o'clock in the afternoon there is no news of the reasons for the Thai shellings but no one was injured by the shelling.
News from the Preah Vihear frontline said that about 30 Thai soldiers have entered Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak pagoda and stayed there many hours. They came to forbid the Cambodian monks residing in the temple not to build a new bathroom and extend the dining hall.
The news said that from 1 pm the same day, all Cambodian soldiers in the areas were ordered to remain in their positions on high alert, after news that the Thai shelled the Cambodian territories.

The Siem are testing the water before they swim because are plenty of crocodile in Cambodian water and there are million more crocodile eggs lying quietly beneath the Earth!
The Siem try and the Siem will die!
Most of these Siam are Khmer surin or have some Khmer blood in them. These Khmer surin are being used as scapegoats to fight their own blood. That is the saddest part of it all.
Wars are about to begin!
The thieves are provoking us to fight. Just be smart and be ready...
here we go again......
I and all Khmer would like to wait and see what will our strong man Mr. Hun Sen do after this idiot Thai army shoting?
This only about 3 to 4 Kms inside Cambodia forest what happend if Thai launched more by saying miss take into our villages?
What are you gonna do now Mr. Hun Sen? Is it time to take the cases to ICJ yet?
i think thai is testing, because they have heard of Ke Kim Yan removal and the rumor of his arrest. and it is true that khmer soldiers haven't been ready to fight back.
Ah Kwang Hun properly kissing thai-ass again..that's all this stupid fuck can do best! No war with thailand, that's what he kept saying? this stupid fuck just sitting around, allowing thai banging their wife and daughter...haha chicken shit!
8:19am is right! i hope khmer in si sa ket get the picture in their head..! that's what they trying to do, let khmer kills khmer each other...get it khmers??
The mentality of the Thai leadership now and then can be equated with that of an over grown 7th grader whose mind is poluted with ignorance that causes him to become irrational and troublesome.
After a terrible bloody nose, once in a real dog fight, the kid will quickly withdraw with a book full of "friendly words". But only to return another day to provoke another incident.
This damn neighbor is really damned and untrustworthy to befriend with. It doesn't seem to bother them, in the leadership, to see their men suffered by the loss of limbs or even killed in the supposedly peaceful situation.
It is the Thai ignorant leadership that promotes and ignites the peaceful situation into chaotic moments which yield bitter fruits for both sides of border citizens who long for a peaceful living.
What will one see the next sunrise or even tonight. The deads and wounded? Siam will be broken in pieces. Will my prediction come true, that remains to be seen.
But the Khmers should gather the inner strength and get ready to jump into fire to extinguish the smoldering toxic smoke once and for all. And you'll be at peace. God bless the Khmer.
Qm
Yes. They are testing the water. Hun Sen is more busy with eliminating his Khmer rivals. Siam knows this exactly. Let see how Hun Sen reacts. He just said to the investors about not going to war, but Siamese leaders are laughing, and now they tested the water.
Guys listen! PM.Hun Sen always use diplomatic efforts and also have his knife ready.
No surprise here, we all know pouk Ah scam rainxy's radical terrorists provoking problem with the Thai by shelling them first as usual.
and you Viet leech at 10:11 AM go eat shit and die!
10:11 AM
anyone can say like you. Do you have any evident about that? Instead of condenming Thais or finding the facts, you have already invented and created another problem.
Hun Sen is the only person who will be criticised whether he did things right or not, because he is a PM. So, he must accept or learn to accept criticm and take appropriate actions.
maybe the thais are itchy and they are afraid that their weapons and ammunitions are becoming rusty so they want to test and start a brief war to see how their advance weapons work in the real battle...be prepared and ready Khmer.....it's coming....we have to play that game as well with Siam.
I wants to see Siem bomp on Hun Sen resident, then he will thing more seriousely about this idiot Siem, who is always want to kills khmer people
FUCK HUN SEN, WAKE UP.
Toul Krasaing needs a real bunker-buster bombs: Thai military
The Thai want to claim the areas as their own. Now they claimed they did a military exercise in their territories, not in Khmer territories. Yes, you are right. Thailand is testing the water. It knows that Hun Sen is busy eliminating his Khmer rivals and he doesn't care about Thai violations. Now, we didn't hear any words of protest from Hun Sen at all. Shame on him!
