Thailand will continue to carry out military actions until we no longer feel any harm or threat to our land and people. I want to make this clear. Our actions this morning have already spoken,” Anutin said in a Facebook post on Saturday morning

Thailand’s Prime Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, has said military operations against Cambodia will continue, despite an earlier claim by United States President Donald Trump that he had successfully brokered a ceasefire between the two neighbouring countries.
“Thailand will continue to carry out military actions until we no longer feel any harm or threat to our land and people. I want to make this clear. Our actions this morning have already spoken,” Anutin said in a Facebook post on Saturday morning.
The Thai leader’s statement followed accusations from Cambodia that Thailand continued to carry out bombing raids on its territory, just hours after President Trump said Bangkok and Phnom Penh had agreed to halt the fighting.
In a social media post, Cambodia’s Ministry of Defence said that on December 13, 2025, the Thai military used two F-16 fighter jets to drop seven bombs on multiple targets.
“Thai forces have not stopped the bombing and are still continuing their attacks,” the ministry said, listing numerous air and ground strikes on villages and settlements up to 8am local time (01:00 GMT) on Saturday.
Local outlet The Khmer Times, citing Cambodia’s Ministry of Information, reported that two hotels were bombed in the Thmor Da area of Pursat province near the Thai border, and published photos showing heavily damaged hotel and casino buildings.
In a separate attack, the Thai navy reportedly fired from a vessel off the coast, launching about 20 artillery shells into Cambodia’s Koh Kong province, hitting hotels and beaches.
Cambodian authorities have not reported any casualties from the latest attacks.
Saturday marks the sixth straight day of fighting between the Southeast Asian neighbours, after a peace agreement brokered by Trump in October collapsed on Monday.
At least 20 people have been killed in both countries, with nearly 200 others injured. An estimated 600,000 people have also been displaced on both sides of the 800km (500-mile) Thailand–Cambodia border, where the conflict is centred on disputed ownership of centuries-old temples.
The fighting has continued despite Trump announcing on social media late on Friday that he had brokered what he described as an agreement between the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia “to cease all shooting.”
