Overview
- Cambodia’s Defense Ministry said on X that two Thai F-16s dropped seven bombs inside Cambodian territory on Dec. 13, hours after President Trump announced a truce.
- Thai officials said they had not agreed to a cease-fire and criticized Trump’s remarks as not accurately reflecting the situation.
- Fighting continued Saturday morning along the border, with Thailand reporting BM-21 rocket fire that seriously injured two civilians in Sisaket province.
- Recent clashes have killed about two dozen people and displaced roughly 500,000 on both sides, according to figures cited in press reports.
- The renewed violence follows fragile mediation over a colonial-era, 800-kilometer border dispute, including a July cease-fire formalized in October that Thailand later suspended after mine injuries to its soldiers.
