Hey everyone, here’s a quick update from the border buzz! The Lao military confirmed on Saturday that there was no exchange of fire with Cambodian armed personnel 🚫💥, debunking earlier reports that suggested an intense clash.
According to their statement to China Media Group, not only was there no shooting, but no Cambodian personnel were detained for crossing into Lao territory illegally. Lao People’s Army News also noted that they hadn’t received any alerts or notifications about a clash.
Adding to the clarity, Maly Socheata from the Cambodian Ministry of National Defense said that no such incident ever took place. Looks like the initial report, which mentioned an emergency notice and arrests, turned out to be a mix-up amid fast-spreading news.
This reminder to double-check news is key in our digital age where rumors can go viral in minutes. Stay informed and always verify your sources! ✌️
