MFA spokesman Nikorndej Balankura said at a press briefing that on Tuesday, Cambodian forces fired into Thai territory in Chong Bok, injuring a Thai soldier.

He said Thailand exercised restraint and did not return fire. Instead, Thai authorities immediately contacted their Cambodian counterparts through established communication channels to clarify the situation, in line with the joint statement agreed at the Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee (GBC) meeting.
