(Phnom Penh): Heng Ratana, Director General of the Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC), said that on Friday morning (Jul. 25), at the frontlines of Cambodian territory invaded by Thailand, Thai soldiers used M758 ATMG 155mm to launch the cluster munitions.
This weapon has range up to 40km. One round of 155mm shell contains 56 cluster sub-munitions and this type of munitions is prohibited under cluster munitions convention. This convention has 124 members, thus this act gravely violated to the international convention.
