F16s, tanks, and heavy weapons are being used as Thai forces open fire on Cambodian positions in the An Ses area of Preah Vihear, with additional strikes at Ta Moan Thom temple and around the Preah Vihear temple zone.
Cambodia says this follows days of Thai provocations. During the second incident, Cambodian units did not return fire and continue to monitor the situation. The ASEAN Observer Team has been notified again, with Cambodia requesting an on-site investigation to establish facts and ensure transparency.
The Ministry of National Defense condemned the attack as a breach of the October 26 Joint Statement on the Cambodia-Thailand Peace Agreement. Cambodia is urging the international community to condemn Thailand’s actions and hold it accountable, while calling for an immediate end to hostilities and for Thailand to respect the ceasefire and its obligations under international law.
