The Thai armed aggression has caused serious damage. As of December 10, 2025, the toll includes 10 civilian fatalities (including one infant) and 60 civilian injuries. The spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defence of the Kingdom of Cambodia expressed regret over the dishonest actions of the Thai side and wishes to completely reject the repeated and baseless accusations from the Thai side. These accusations have become a habit of the Thai army, used as an excuse to serve its ambitions of aggression against the legitimate sovereign territory of Cambodia.
Since before the start of the brutal and illegal attack on Cambodia, the Thai army has violated all the terms of the ceasefire agreement and the joint declaration on peace between Cambodia and Thailand. Despite insistent calls from the international community to adhere to these agreements, Thailand has unilaterally withdrawn from recognizing these agreements, while Cambodia has repeatedly committed to respecting these agreements as well as other bilateral agreements. This clearly demonstrates which of the two nations, Cambodia or Thailand, is truly peace-loving and wants to resolve conflicts peacefully. In fact, the Thai army has committed countless violations of international law. These violations include: the use of F-16 fighter jets; the bombing of civilian areas; the use of toxic gas; the destruction of historical sites such as the Temple of Preah Vihear and the Temple of Ta Krabei; and the indiscriminate firing of all types of heavy weapons, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many innocent civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, as well as many other flagrant violations. Despite committing countless international crimes, the Thai army not only failed to take responsibility for its inhumane and brutal actions, but also blatantly accused Cambodia with the sole goal of creating an excuse to serve the purpose of invading Cambodia’s sovereign territory and attacking its innocent people. The international community will not stand idly by and allow a country that has abandoned the path of peace by unilaterally rejecting the ceasefire agreement and the joint declaration on peace between Cambodia and Thailand. This nation has chosen to use threats and force without the slightest regard for international law to continue its aggressive actions with impunity. If no action is taken to hold the Thai army accountable for its illegal actions, the situation will escalate: today the Thai army invades Cambodia; tomorrow, the Thai army may do the same to other countries that are weaker or smaller than itself. This will seriously affect peace and security in the entire region. The Ministry of National Defence spokesperson demanded that the Thai army immediately cease all its aggressive actions; stop spreading false information that distorts the truth; stop indiscriminate attacks, especially on civilians and civilian infrastructure; and stop attacks that destroy historical sites, which are not only the most valuable cultural assets for Cambodia but also for all of humanity. The Thai army must show sincerity and goodwill if Thailand truly desires real peace, because peace cannot come only through words, but only through concrete actions. The Thai army can start by immediately ceasing all illegal activities as mentioned above. In this sense, Cambodia calls on the international community to strongly condemn Thailand’s violations of the Joint Declaration and its repeated war crime and unlawful activities, as well as demands that Thailand take full responsibility for such brazen violations. Cambodia urges that Thailand immediately stop all hostile activities and withdraw its forces from Cambodia’s territorial integrity, and avoid acts of aggression that threaten peace and stability in the region. At the same time, we call on the Thai side to firmly honour the Ceasefire Agreement, the Joint Declaration, as well as the obligations under international law with sincerity, in good faith and goodwill.
