Surin: Engineers used machinery to plow and demolish a Cambodian mango orchard that had encroached on Thai sovereignty in the Chong Rayi area of Kab Choeng District, Surin Province. The Kab Choeng District Chief confirmed the news, but the results of the operation are not yet known.
According to Thai News Agency, the operation aimed to address the issue of territorial encroachment where the Cambodian mango plantation had extended beyond its national boundaries into Thai territory. The decision to carry out the demolition was backed by local authorities, emphasizing the importance of maintaining sovereignty and territorial integrity in the region.
The demolition involved the use of heavy machinery operated by engineers to clear the area and reassert control over the disputed land. The situation remains tense as authorities await the outcomes of this operation and its implications on Thai-Cambodian relations. Further updates are expected as the situation develops and more information becomes available from the Kab Choeng District Chief.
