Cambodia has condemned the Thai army for demolishing a Hindu Vishnu statue in a disputed border area after more than two weeks of fighting between Cambodia and Thailand.
According to Cambodian officials in Preah Vihear, the statue was built in 2014 and stood several hundred meters inside Cambodian territory in the An Ses area. It was destroyed on December 22 using a backhoe loader. Video of the demolition circulated widely on Thai social media and was independently verified, with no signs of manipulation.
Cambodia says the statue was a religious site worshipped by Buddhist and Hindu followers and has accused Thai forces of damaging multiple cultural sites along the border during the clashes. Thailand has not commented on the incident and continues to say its operations only target military objectives.
By that logic, this Hindu statue was definitely a military target.
At 10:00am,ย the Thai military deployedย T-50 fighter jetsย to dropย four bombsย into aย civilian residential area where civilians were residing, further deep into Cambodian sovereign territory inย Banan district,ย Battambang province.

What exactly is Thailand trying to hide?
- The failure at the SEA Games?
- The failure to help people suffering from natural disasters?
- The failing economy?
- Or are they using the border clash to gain popularity?
This is the result of Thailandโs cruel actions. They keep attacking Cambodia and killing innocent lives.
THAILAND OPENED FIRE ON CAMBODIA

This is so heartbreaking to see our Cambodian people who live along the border has to flee from time to time because of Thai troops attacked.

Families are taking shelter in storm drains and drainage culverts that often carry mixed wastewater, huddling below the concrete as gunfire sounds in the distance. When I see scenes like this, it makes my blood boil. Iโm sure people in Thailand are doing the same thing right now. It shouldnโt come to this, yet it does.
How many times have we had to run away from school and home of the war? ๐ฅบ
Cambodia does not want war and we are strongly committed to peace ๐ซ
