Cambodia and Thailand accused each other of launching attacks on the 8th. Cambodian Senate Chairman Hun Sen said on the 8th that the Thai military launched an attack on the Cambodian side, and the red line where Cambodia must take retaliatory action has already been drawn. In a social media post, Hun Sen wrote, “All frontline forces must be patient because the invaders have been firing on us with various weapons since yesterday, including last night and this morning.” He said that the purpose of the Thai attack was to force the Cambodian army to fight back, thereby disrupting the cease-fire agreement and the Cambodian-Thai joint peace declaration. Hun Sen said that the red line where retaliation must be taken has been drawn, and he recommended that commanders at all levels emphasize this to the soldiers. He has cancelled other missions in order to co-command the military against the invasion with Prime Minister Hong Manai. However, Hun Sen did not specifically explain what the red line drawn by the Cambodian side is.
