Students fled their classrooms after Thai forces used F-16 fighter jets to drop bombs in Srei Snam district, Siem Reap province, and Chong Kal district at depths of around 70 kilometers inside Cambodian territory.
The airstrikes occurred at approximately 10:08 am and 10:11 am today, December 15. The bombing caused panic among students, who ran from school buildings after hearing explosions.
Cambodian Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts solemnly condemns the destructive attacks carried out by the Thai military against Ta Krabey Temple, a sacred cultural site of Cambodia. This reprehensible act reflects profound immorality and demonstrates a blatant disregard for culture, civilization, and the sacred heritage that forms part of the shared legacy of humanity, especially the priceless cultural patrimony built and preserved by Khmer ancestors.
“The Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts calls upon all national and international bodies, particularly UNESCO, the ASEAN community, relevant institutions, organizations, associations, and all individuals dedicated to the protection of humanity’s heritage, to unequivocally condemn these actions and to urge the Thai military to immediately cease all acts of destruction. National and international intervention is urgently required, as the Thai military has continued indiscriminate attacks on multiple locations, including both civilian areas and heritage sites. Notably, on 8 December 2025, the Temple of Preah Vihear also sustained damage, resulting in the total destruction of conservation facilities under the Cambodia–India joint conservation project, along with other temple structures,” according to the statement seen by Fresh News on Tuesday (Dec. 9).
“The Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts will employ all available mechanisms, both national and international, to ensure that Thailand is held accountable under applicable international law for these immoral acts and to ensure that these destructive actions are duly recorded in the historical record of humanity.”
Thailand Proceeds with Border Land Clearance Against Cambodia’s Request
PHNOM PENH –Thai forces began conducting land-clearance operations around 12:50 p.m. on Oct. 10 at Prey Chan village, O Bei Chorn commune, O Chrov district, using military machinery.
The clearance activity proceeded in defiance of a request from Cambodia’s 51st Infantry Brigade for Thailand’s Burapha Task Force to delay its planned demining operations at Chouk Chey village on Oct. 10.
Brigadier General Sing Tum, commander of the 51st Infantry Brigade, in a letter issued on Oct. 9, said the Burapha Task Force’s notification of demining operations contradicts the spirit of the agreement reached during the First Special Meeting of the General Border Committee (GBC) held on September 10.
The operation also took place as the Interim Observer Team (IOT) launched a week-long monitoring mission in border villages in Banteay Meanchey province.

The rapid progression is noteworthy. It is advantageous to arrive at the destination during the evening.
Mr. ALFARO MICHAEL BARRY, a correspondent for the American White House, has successfully arrived at the precise site of the military dispute.
The conflict in the Thai-Cambodian border in Banteay Meanchey province will undoubtedly attract global attention.
They captured standing and healthy Cambodian soldiers. They return one with a broken arm and turned the other one into a psychiatric patient. We’re praying, the rest are safe.

Please spare us two minutes and watch this insightful video on how Thailand actually “seeks peace”.

Three Things Thailand Broke:
1. Its word – Promises made, promises betrayed.
2. The ceasefire – Peace was agreed, then violated.
3. Humanitarian law – People suffered, rights were crushed.

Dear international friends, this is what you need to know about us.
Thailand always broke things, ceasefire agreement and now they also broke the promise.
RELEASE CAPTURED CAMBODIAN SOLDIERS
#JusticeForCambodia
Again, Thailand failed to keep their promise. On August 1st, they released only 2 soldiers. Thailand’s claims: one Cambodian soldier has psychology problem and the other one with serious arm injury.
#JusticeForCambodia
On July 29th, after the ceasefire, Thailand captured 20 Cambodian soldiers; one managed to escape. The rest was scheduled to be released on July 30th, but Thailand changed its mind and claimed they needed medical care and returned one soldier's body that same day.
This is not merely a border dispute — it is a devastating act of aggression that has torn families apart, claimed the lives of innocent civilians, and inflicted suffering on women, children, and the elderly.

BEHIND THE SCENES: I’m standing by to go live on @ChannelNewsAsia when this Cambodian (L) asked if he can take a video of me at work (I said yes)
And when the crickets in a bush beside me started singing, he helped shake the bush to quiet them
