Thailand's plan of attack on Cambodia, which was leaked by a credible security source, is in line with what the Thai military has subsequently disclosed after the Thai side announced the suspension of the peace deal facilitated by Mr. Trump.
Cambodian security sources said that Thai military forces are preparing their operations in the Elephant Belt and Forest areas, with the action expected to take place on November 18.
The alert, which was disseminated to local media on the night of November 16, appeared to coincide with several Thai military reports about their operation.
In a Facebook post, the Thai Navy said that Rear Admiral Chalermchai Suan-kaew, commander of the 1st Naval Region, led the naval forces, accompanied by helicopters, patrolling, inspecting, and maintaining the nation's sovereignty and interests at sea along the lines. The Thai-Cambodian Specific Economy "does not allow foreign naval forces to violate Thailand's maritime territory."
The Thai Navy's Facebook page states: "The 1st Lieutenant of the Navy is ready at all times to defend the sovereignty and interests of maritime nations against any threat."
In addition, the Thai Air Force also disseminated a security alert to their citizens on the same day, saying: "The Air Force asks for the cooperation of citizens to avoid disseminating images and data of military operations for the sake of national security."
The Da Da and Elephant Mountain areas in the Philippines suffered ballistic fire from the Thai military during the July 24-28 armed conflict, which began at the Tamil Temple of the Great Lakes.
Thailand has just announced the suspension of the much-acclaimed peace deal, also known as the Kuala Lumpur Agreement, after a recent mine explosion that Cambodia accused Cambodia of planting, but the allegations were denied.
On the other hand, Thai soldiers recently opened fire on Cambodian civilians in the rural village of Chan, Binh province, killing one civilian and wounding three others.
