Thai crowd-control police on Wednesday afternoon used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse a Cambodian crowd that approached and reportedly assaulted Thai security personnel on the border in Sa Kaeo’s Khok Sung district. The incident occurred near Ban Nong Ya Kaeo between border markers 42 and 43 in tambon Khok Sung, where Thai authorities had earlier installed concertina wire to demarcate and secure the territory. The wire was reportedly damaged and partially removed by Cambodian civilians on Tuesday, prompting a formal protest from Thai officials. Pol Maj Gen Thaworn Dulayawit, commander of Sa Kaeo provincial police, on Wednesday ordered the mobilisation of riot control units in coordination with local police at Khok Sung police station to maintain order.
