Clashes Between Thailand and Cambodia Erupt Again After Trump-Brokered Ceasefire

HeadlineDec 09, 2025

Fighting between Thailand and Cambodia has erupted again after Thailand launched airstrikes Monday along its disputed border with Cambodia. A Thai soldier and four Cambodian civilians were killed in the renewed fighting, as both sides accuse each other of breaching a ceasefire deal brokered by President Trump back in October. Earlier this year, at least 48 people were killed and 300,000 were forced to flee their homes in the five-day conflict. This is the spokesperson from the Cambodian Defense Ministry.

Gen. Maly Socheata: “The second invasion activity by the Thai side shows clearly their intention to grab their neighbor’s land using a unilateral map and using force to change borders.”
