(Preah Vihear): On Wednesday (Jul. 30), Cambodian military commander informed 13 foreign military attachés and diplomats that Thai forces abducted 20 Cambodian soldiers (one managed to escape, and two are suspected to have been killed) following the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.

According to the commander, the Cambodian troops were in the process of shaking hands with Thai soldiers at the Chom Tae when the Thai side suddenly detained them.
