Fighting rages on Thai-Cambodian border despite Trump’s ceasefire claim
Despite a ceasefire claim by US President Trump, fighting continues with at least 20 killed and 600,000 displaced along the Thailand-Cambodia border, officials said.
- On December 13, 2025, Trump wrote `They have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening`, but Cambodia's Ministry of Defence alleged Thai bombs continued, and Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said operations would persist.
- The dispute stems from a long-running conflict over colonial-era demarcation of the 800-kilometre Thailand–Cambodia border and centuries-old temples, while domestic politics, including Anutin Charnvirakul suspending the peace deal on November 10, have fueled tensions.
- Reports show at least 24 people killed this week, six wounded by Cambodian rockets, two Cambodian bridges destroyed, and hotel and casino damage in Koh Kong and Pursat provinces.
- On December 11, Anutin Charnvirakul dissolved Thailand's parliament, setting a snap election within two months, while both governments exchanged blame over renewed fighting and Cambodia alleged continued attacks despite the ceasefire claim.
- Humanitarian figures show 600,000 displaced and half a million evacuated, while Cambodia favours international mediation after the United States, China and Malaysia/ASEAN brokered earlier ceasefires.
