Bangkok: The Ministry of Defense has announced that Cambodia has not ceased fire as previously claimed, amid ongoing military operations between Thailand and Cambodia. The Ministry released this information following a review of recent activities along the border.
According to Thai News Agency, a press conference held by the Joint Press Center for the Thai-Cambodian Border Situation on December 14, 2025, provided an update on the conflict. Ms. Maratee Nalita Andamo, Deputy Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, addressed concerns regarding Thai citizens in Cambodia, particularly about travel restrictions. The Cambodian Ministry of Interior's suspension of foreign nationals' departures was highlighted as a potential human rights violation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has arranged for Thai citizens wishing to return to Thailand to have access to 1,000 daily seats on flights from Siem Reap and has advised them to seek alternative routes immediately.
The Ministry of Defense spokesperson outlined the timeline of hostilities, beginning at 10:00 PM on December 13th. Despite Cambodia's claims of a ceasefire, heavy weapon fire continued towards Thailand. Cambodian drones were also detected in the border region of Trat Province. At 4:15 AM, Cambodian forces fired BM-21 assault rifles and artillery into Kantaralak District, Sisaket Province.
Colonel Richa Suksuwanon, Deputy Spokesperson of the Royal Thai Army, reported that the Thai army has taken full control of the Prasat Khana area. He presented evidence of Cambodian soldiers encroaching on Thai territory by digging trenches.
Further assessments revealed significant Cambodian military losses from December 7th to 13th, including 51 military bases/installments, one BM-21 system, 10 tanks, nine armored vehicles, four anti-aircraft systems, seven artillery pieces/mortars, five anti-drone sites, 68 drones, three communication towers, and 221 soldiers killed.
The Ministry of Defense reiterated that Thailand remains open to negotiations but insists that Cambodia must halt its hostile actions before talks can proceed.
