The Thai Air Force (RTAF) accused Cambodia of politically distorting Senator Angkhana Neelapaijit’s statement regarding RTAF F-16 strikes on Cambodian targets during a late July conflict.
RTAF spokesman insisted the F-16 strikes were a self-defense response to Cambodian rocket and artillery bombardment of Thai civilian targets, adhering to UN Charter Article 51.
The article also highlighted a separate issue where the Thai Army defended using 'ghost wailing' sounds against Cambodian settlers as an expression of dissatisfaction, despite Senator Angkhana's concerns it might constitute psychological torture.
