Army deputy spokesman Col Ritcha Suksuwan said Cambodian forces have continued heavy attacks along the frontier, concentrating artillery fire on Hill 350. He said Hill 350 is a decisive tactical position fortified by Cambodian troops, making Thai efforts to regain complete control highly challenging. Since Thai forces seized Ban Sam Lang on Dec 14, Cambodian troops have repeatedly attempted to retake the position. Royal Thai Navy marines are now using fortified bunkers originally built by Cambodian forces -- structures resilient even against F-16 air strikes -- to strengthen their defences, he said. The documents showed training conducted on Oct 7 last year, pointing to deliberate preparation to deploy mines against Thai forces.
