Overview
- Trump said he spoke with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and that both agreed to stop all firing and return to October’s accord, a claim not yet independently confirmed in the provided reports.
- The latest round of hostilities since December 7 featured artillery duels, BM-21 rocket salvos, airstrikes, drone-dropped munitions, and naval fire across multiple frontier sectors.
- Roughly half a million people have been displaced on both sides of the border, with evacuations of civilians and a hospital relocation reported in Thailand’s Surin province.
- Casualty figures remain contested and evolving, with Thailand reporting at least nine soldiers and three civilians killed and more than 120 soldiers wounded, and Cambodia reporting at least nine to eleven civilian deaths and dozens injured.
- UNESCO expressed deep concern over fighting near the Preah Vihear World Heritage site, as both governments earlier rejected an immediate ceasefire before Trump’s latest outreach.
