Thai army rejects Cambodia’s claim of attack on Preah Vihear Temple

22 Oct 13:52 Key points summarised by AI

The Thai Army vehemently denies Cambodia's allegations of attacking Preah Vihear Temple, violating international law, and damaging the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Thailand accuses Cambodia of using the ancient temple for military purposes, deploying grenade launchers, artillery, and ammunition depots around the site.
The Army asserts that Cambodia's military utilization of the temple nullifies its protected status under the 1954 Hague Convention, justifying Thai actions as self-defense under the UN Charter.
Thailand alleges Cambodia is distorting information and portraying itself as a victim to influence the international community, diverting attention from its own actions that compromised the temple's integrity.
