Cambodia Condemns Thailand’s Brutal Attack on Civilians
AKP Phnom Penh, November 12, 2025 --
The Ministry of National Defence of the Kingdom of Cambodia has strongly condemned the Thai military for opening fire on Cambodian civilians, injuring five people.
According to preliminary information from local authorities, at around 15:50, the Thai military opened fire on Cambodian civilians residing in Prey Chan village, O’Beichoan commune, O’Chrov district, Banteay Meanchey province.
H.E. Lt. Gen. Maly Socheata, Spokeswoman of the Ministry of National Defence, said this evening that the attack followed a series of provocative actions by the Thai military in recent days, seemingly aimed at inciting clashes.
The Ministry expressed its strongest condemnation of this inhuman and brutal act, which it said clearly violates the Joint Declaration on the Peace Deal between Cambodia and Thailand, signed by the Prime Ministers of both countries on Oct. 26, 2025, under the witness of H.E. Donald Trump, President of the United States, and H.E. Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia and Chair of ASEAN.
In this regard, Cambodia called on the international community to strongly condemn Thailand’s repeated violations and to hold the Thai side fully accountable for these illegal actions.
The Ministry further urged Thailand to immediately cease all hostilities that threaten peace and stability in the region and to fully respect the ceasefire agreement, the Joint Declaration on the Peace Deal, and all obligations under international law in a firm and sincere manner.
“Cambodia remains firmly committed to respecting and implementing the terms of the ceasefire, the Joint Declaration on the Peace Deal between Cambodia and Thailand, and all agreements reached by both parties in the past,” reaffirmed H.E. Lt. Gen. Maly Socheata. “Cambodia adheres to the peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law and existing treaties, conventions, and agreements, and opposes the threat or use of force, seeking a just and lasting solution consistent with international law.”
