Overview
- Cambodia said Thai F-16s dropped bombs near displacement sites in Oddar Meanchey and Srei Snam, marking the first reported strikes into Siem Reap province and targeting a bridge not far from Angkor Wat.
- Thailand has not commented on the Siem Reap claim, while its military halted fuel shipments via the Chong Mek checkpoint to Laos and moved to restrict Thai-registered vessels in a designated high‑risk area in the Gulf of Thailand.
- Thai authorities reported the first civilian death inside Thailand from the current fighting, blaming BM‑21 rocket fire from Cambodia that struck a neighborhood in Si Sa Ket province.
- Thai officials claimed heavy Cambodian military losses, which Phnom Penh dismissed as disinformation, and Cambodian ministries said 15 civilians have been killed and 73 wounded as displacement tops half a million people.
- Fighting continued despite US President Donald Trump’s claim of a renewed ceasefire, and Malaysia said an ASEAN foreign ministers’ meeting was postponed to December 22 at Thailand’s request.
