Phnom Penh: Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday said that Cambodia will conduct a multiple rocket launching test next week.
Speaking at a graduating ceremony for graduate students, Hun Sen called the move a routine military drill and said it is not intended to show Cambodia's military muscle to any country.
Cambodia has been locked in a territorial dispute with Thailand since 2008 and there have been sporadic military clashes between the two countries at the border area near Cambodia's Preah Vihear Temple.
Hun Sen said the rocket tests will take place March 4 in Kompong Chhnang Province, about 100 kilometers north of Phnom Penh.
About 200 rounds of the BM-21 multiple rocket launcher will be fired to test the military's capabilities as well as the quality of the Russian-made rocket-launching system, he said.
The 122-mm rockets have a range of 40 kilometers. Hun Sen said one round of the BM-21 costs between $1,200 and $3,800.
Earlier this month, Hun Sen toured the Cambodia-Thai border area and visited military units. The trip and the heavy weapons displayed during his visit were broadcast on many television channels in Cambodia.

Why don't somebody in Cambodia get rid of Hun Sen? What are they waiting for? He's a dictatorship for a long time. Do you want to wait until he's gonna kill all your family one by one like Pol Pot?
Khmer needs solidarity. Do not allow the foreigners to appear here and pretend to be Khmers and write all bad messages.
These foreigners have one thing in mind and that is to cause disturbances in the Khmer house. Beware of that.
Khmer must build solidarity.
