Cambodia claims Thai bombing is deep into territory near shelters for displaced

Heavy combat between Thailand and Cambodia entered a second week on Monday, with Phnom Penh claiming that Thai bombing is hitting deeper into its territory, coming close to shelters for people who had already fled dangerous areas along the border.

According to Cambodia’s defense and information ministries, shortly after 10 a.m. local time on Monday, Thai F-16 fighter jets dropped two bombs near camps for displaced people in the Chong Kal district in the Oddar Meanchey province and the Srei Snam district in the Siem Reap province.

The bombing in Srei Snam, located more than 70 kilometers (43 miles) inside Cambodian territory, targeted a bridge, said the Cambodian authorities.

Siem Reap is home to Cambodia’s world-famous Angkor Wat temple complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the country’s biggest tourist attraction.

There was no immediate comment from Thai officials.
