On Mon, Nov 10, 2025, Major-General Winthai Suvari confirmed the deployment of aircraft after clashes in the Chong Bok area of Nam Yuen District, Ubon Ratchathani province. Suvari also reported that four additional soldiers sustained injuries and mentioned that the Thai Army is working to expedite civilian evacuations from the border areas.
Cambodia's Ministry of National Defence, through spokesperson Maly Socheata, confirmed the attacks, stating that Thai forces initiated an assault on Cambodian troops located in Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey provinces early Monday. Cambodia has not engaged in retaliatory actions.
This incident marks the latest in a series of conflicts between the two nations following a ceasefire that concluded five days of intense clashes in July.
This incident marks the latest in a series of conflicts between the two nations following a ceasefire that concluded five days of intense clashes in July. During those hostilities, at least 48 lives were lost, and approximately 300,000 individuals were displaced temporarily as both countries exchanged artillery fire.
The ceasefire was facilitated by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and U.S. President Trump, who also oversaw the signing of an extended peace agreement in Kuala Lumpur in October. Nevertheless, tensions remain high. Following a landmine incident last month that injured a Thai soldier, Thailand has suspended the ceasefire agreement's implementation, while Cambodia has denied any involvement, attributing the explosion to remnants of past conflicts.
The border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia extends over an 817-km (508-mile) stretch, originally demarcated by France in 1907 during its colonial rule over Cambodia. Despite ongoing efforts for peaceful resolution, historical tensions have periodically resulted in military skirmishes, notably a significant artillery exchange in 2011.
