"Army Region 2" explains the explosion, the area opposite the speculum channel, Phnom Dong Rak, Surin, after Khmer online media claimed that Thai soldiers threw bombs into the Cambodian force, causing three Khmer soldiers to hurt, pointing out the wounds, Khmer soldiers stepped on the bomb themselves.

On July 5, 2026, the 2nd Armed Forces would like to clarify a case that appeared to spread the Cambodian social media message claiming that Thai soldiers threw explosives at the location of Cambodian forces, causing the injury of three soldiers on July 5, 2026:

According to a review of the facts of the military in the area, at about 12.45 o'clock, the Thai military heard an explosion, which was under the control of Cambodia and outside the Thai barbed wire fence. The Thai did not have any operations or operations in the area, and there was no loss of force or damage to the equipment of the Thai side. In the aftermath of the incident, three pictures of Cambodian injuries were published. According to the preliminary nature of the wounds, the injured were heavily injured, with wounds in the left foot, shin and face. Two other injuries were primarily leg shin wounds. The appearance was a concentrated injury to the foot and leg area, which was more consistent with being affected by stepping on a landmine than being injured by a throwing bomb, since if it was a throwing bomb explosion, the distribution of flakes and wounds was generally found in multiple positions throughout the body, and probably more violent, which was not consistent with the appearance of the wounds shown in the news footage.

The 2nd Armed Forces have confirmed that according to the information and facts that have been verified at the outset, no evidence has yet emerged that the Thai forces used force or threw bombs into Cambodian areas as claimed. The bombings occurred in areas under Cambodian control, where the Thai did not take any action in the area. The 2nd Armed Forces remain patient and respectful of the relevant agreements along the border, ready to carry out all missions with due diligence and vigilance to maintain order, security and good relations on the border as well as ready to provide them. Cooperate in fact-checking through existing mechanisms; provided further information or evidence is available.
