Please be informed of the situation along the Cambodia–Thailand border, where Thai military forces have continued their armed aggression in Cambodian sovereign territory, in the 5th Military Region, Chok Chey village, Banteay Meanchey Province, on December 26, 2025.
- From 6:08am to 7:15am, the Thai military deployed F-16 fighter jets to drop as many as 40 bombs, to intensify its bombardment in the area of Chok Chey village and to destroy innocent civilians’ houses and properties as well as public infrastrutures there in the most ruthless and inhumane manner.
The brutal actions above are indiscriminate attacks by the Thai military, a serious violation of international humanitarian law.
The Cambodian forces continue to monitor the situation closely, and stand strong, brave, and remain vigilant in fulfilling their roles to protect the territorial integrity of Cambodia. We will protect our dignity with courage and unwavering resolve, at any cost, and without succumbing to coercion or intimidation in any form.
It is advised that fellow citizens follow information from official sources, cooperate and comply with the instructions of all local authorities.
Further detailed information will be provided later as the situation develops.
