Overview

  • On July 26, President Trump said he spoke with Cambodia’s prime minister and was calling Thailand’s acting prime minister to request an immediate ceasefire.
  • Cross-border artillery and rocket exchanges over three days have killed at least 33 soldiers and civilians and revived a long-running territorial dispute.
  • Both Phnom Penh and Bangkok have expelled each other’s envoys, deployed heavy weaponry and traded accusations over who launched the first attack.
  • The UN Security Council held a private emergency meeting on July 25 to discuss the violence but no truce has been agreed.
  • The fighting has forced Cambodia to evacuate about 3,400 families and displaced over 138,000 people in Thailand, heightening an urgent humanitarian crisis.
