Three Thai villagers injured in Cambodian rocket attack in Surin

The Royal Thai Army denounced Cambodia this morning for firing rockets at Thai civilians at a border development centre in Karb Choeng district of Surin, injuring three.

The Army said that two BM-21 rockets, fired by Cambodian forces, smashed into the community centre at 9.40am this morning. The people in the centre were immediately evacuated.

The 122mm BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher, commonly known as the “Stalin Organ”, was first introduced during the Soviet era. The launcher system is normally operated from trucks.

The army said it is monitoring the border situation closely and will keep the public informed.
