Navy Finds Phone, Evidence on Phum Tua; Cambodian Soldiers Mine Area

Evidence suggests Cambodia may be violating international agreements concerning mine usage, with new discoveries pointing to advanced tactics.

Cambodian Military Tactics Raise Concerns Over Mine Usage

PHNOM PENH,Cambodia – A recent series of discoveries has ignited concerns about Cambodia’s adherence to international agreements regarding landmines. Thai patrols have uncovered a significant cache of mines, including PMN-2 types, and unearthed evidence of complex mine-laying techniques by Cambodian soldiers.

The Cambodian navy’s findings on Phum Tua have been especially illuminating. Along with a recovered telephone, a considerable amount of evidence indicating Cambodian soldiers’ involvement in laying mines was discovered. This growth follows reports of Thai patrols clearing an area near the Krisana base by 100%, yet still finding mines.

Further analysis of a Cambodian military clip revealed instructional content on how to mix and bury PMN-2 mines, specifically targeting ankles. This practice, apparently intended to be concealed underground, adds another layer to the troubling evidence of possibly illicit mine deployment.

Did you know? – the PMN-2 mine, a Soviet-era design, is notoriously difficult to detect due to its non-metallic components. This makes clearing operations considerably more challenging and dangerous.

The collection of Cambodian military mobile phones has also yielded incriminating images of PMN-2 mines. These findings collectively paint a picture of a military employing advanced and potentially prohibited tactics, leading to accusations that Cambodia is violating multiple agreements.

Evidence of Advanced Mine-Laying

The uncovered video translation appears to demonstrate a method for preparing PMN-2 mines before they are buried. The focus on ankle-level placement and concealment suggests a deliberate strategy to inflict maximum injury, a tactic that raises serious humanitarian concerns and potentially violates international treaties banning the use of indiscriminate weapons.

Pro tip: – When reporting on mine-related incidents,always verify the type of mine and the context of its discovery. this ensures accurate and responsible journalism.

Extensive Mine Discoveries

Thai patrols, operating in areas with reported Cambodian military activity, have consistently found mines. The systematic clearing of these areas, while thorough, highlights the ongoing presence of these dangerous devices. The sheer volume and the nature of the evidence suggest a deliberate and ongoing effort to deploy mines in contravention of established norms.
