Press Release from the Spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia Phnom Penh, 3 August 2025
The Spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia would like to inform the general public and the international community that, according to received information at 10:49 a.m. on 3 August 2025, the Thai military, in cooperation with Thai authorities, has instructed its remaining civilians in the border area of Surin Province to evacuate by tonight.
The same sources also confirmed that the Thai military plans to launch attacks along the border starting from the Tamone Thom Temple, Ta Krabey Temple, Preah Vihear Temple, up to the Anseh area. These attacks are expected to commence soon, prior to the scheduled meeting of the Extraordinary Meeting of the General Border Committee (GBC) on 7 August 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
This planned offensive constitutes a violation of the territorial sovereignty of Cambodia before the GBC meeting, and it is a serious breach of the ceasefire agreement mutually agreed upon by both countries on 28 July 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, with Malaysia, the United States, and China as witnesses.
Cambodia appeals to the international community to help prevent this at all costs and urges the Thai side to immediately stop its planned aggression, if this information is true, and to respect the ceasefire agreement fully for the sake of peace and stability along the border areas of both countries and the entire region.

A group of Cambodian women left their homes on a tractor, accompanied by eight children whose husbands and fathers are soldiers. Driven by fear, they were forced to flee.
We gave the children stuffed animals, gentle offerings of comfort in hope that even for a brief moment, their day might feel a little lighter.

As someone living in Cambodia, yesterday’s border clash didn’t feel far away.
People died—Thai civilians, including children—after Cambodian rocket fire reportedly struck border villages. That’s tragic and unacceptable. But it didn’t happen in a vacuum. Thai forces reportedly provoked the shooting, on land already ruled by international courts to belong to Cambodia.
None of this should be normal!
Let’s not cheer from the sidelines like it’s some kind of boxing match. Thai and Cambodian voices alike are posting online like they’re rooting for a team—while real families are burying their dead!
Put the weapons down. Talk. Before more lives are lost for absolutely nothing.
