Thai Army rejects Cambodia’s chemical weapons, cluster munitions claims


BANGKOK: The Royal Thai Army on Wednesday (Dec 31) rejected allegations by the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) that Thai forces used chemical weapons and cluster munitions, insisting the claims are distorted and should be based on verifiable facts. It said, by contrast, Thai civilians have been affected by Cambodian attacks.

CMAC earlier issued a statement claiming that during two rounds of Cambodia-Thailand fighting in 2025, the Thai military used multiple types of munitions against Cambodian territory, including aerial bombs, cluster munitions, toxic smoke (chemical agents), all types of artillery shells, and large quantities of medium- and small-sized explosives.
