Military attaches visited sites in Thailand that were struck by Cambodian rockets during border clashes last week.

Diplomats, army representatives, and journalists conducted field inspections of war-torn areas in Si Sa Ket province today.

Footage shows the contingent observing the ruins of a 7-Eleven gas station, where an artillery strike killed eight and injured 13 on July 24.

Government spokesman Jirayu Huangsub said the visit aimed to provide the ambassadors a clear picture of the devastation and show the impact of Cambodian shelling on civilian targets, including a hospital, a school, and a petrol station.

He said: ‘This initiative demonstrates Thailand's sincerity and openness. We are not concealing the facts and welcome the global community to assess the situation with their own eyes.'

Major General Vinthai Suwaree, spokesperson for the Thai Army, said: ‘Our main objective is to highlight the facts. Unlike the Cambodian side, every location we visited is an actual incident site. 

‘Each of these points is several tens of kilometres from the combat zone. Foreign observers, by all accounts, have spoken privately to commend the Royal Thai Army for our very swift response to the news. Everyone seems to agree on this.'

The diplomatic delegation included ambassadors from Brunei, Japan, and Myanmar, deputy chiefs of mission from Malaysia and Laos, and representatives from Indonesia, the United States, Singapore, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

Military attaches arrived from 23 countries while a media contingent of 110 Thai journalists from 18 agencies and 39 foreign correspondents was also present.

Thai officials hope that showing the attache the sites of the clashes, it can be proven that Thailand has abided by international rules of warfare, such as the Geneva Conventions and Hague Conventions, that are intended to limit the effects of armed conflict and protect civilians.

They departed from Don Mueang Air Force Base in Bangkok in the morning before arriving at the 22nd Military District at Sunpasitthiprasong Camp in Ubon Ratchathani for a briefing. They then conducted field inspections across Si Sa Ket and later visited a temporary shelter where displaced residents were being housed.

A bloody military confrontation flared in long-disputed border areas as Thailand and Cambodia accused each other of instigating the violence on July 24.

The Thai army claimed the clash began when six armed Cambodian soldiers approached a Thai outpost after a drone was heard near a disputed Khmer temple, which has been occupied by Thailand for decades. Thai troops said they shouted warnings and claimed the Cambodians opened fire first.

However, Cambodia's Defence Ministry accused Thailand of provoking the violence, saying its forces acted in self-defence.

Officials said at least 43 people have been killed and more than 300,000 displaced on both sides of the border.

Both sides have reached a truce at midnight on Monday, following talks facilitated by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

He said: 'This is a vital first step toward de-escalation and the restoration of peace and security.'

US President Donald Trump had earlier threatened to pause trade deals with both countries if clashes continued.

He said after the ceasefire was forged: 'By ending this War, we have saved thousands of lives ... I have now ended many Wars in just six months — I am proud to be the President of PEACE!'

However, Thai authorities accused Cambodia of allegedly violating the armistice, claiming Khmer soldiers were firing into Thai territory until Wednesday morning.

Thai government spokesman Jirayu Huangsab said the Thai army have 'maintained control of the situation' and the general conditions along the border were 'normal'.
