No End to Military Operations Until Threats Against Territory, People Cease: Thai PM

BANGKOK, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) — Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said in a social media post on Saturday that his country will continue its military operations until Thailand’s territory and people are no longer under threat.

Anutin also responded to U.S. President Donald Trump’s earlier remarks, stating, “It’s definitely not a roadside accident.” Trump had previously claimed that the roadside bomb which initially caused multiple Thai military casualties was an “accident,” while noting that Thailand had responded “very strongly.”

“Our actions this morning already spoke,” Anutin added.

Citing a military source, Thai media reported on Saturday that the Royal Thai Air Force deployed two F-16 fighter jets to bomb targets on the Cambodia border.
