PHNOM PENH: After three nights of peaceful silence, on Friday (Oct 17) night, Thailand resumed broadcasting loud noises across the border at the residents of Chouk Chey and Prey Chan villages along the border in Banteay Meanchey province.

“At around 5.30pm, Thai extremists, reportedly supported by the Thai military and Sa Kaeo provincial authorities, used four loudspeakers mounted about 30 metres high, supported by three trucks, to blast high-volume sound toward the Cambodian side,” said local authorities.
