Cambodia’s Defence Ministry said Thai F-16 jets continued bombing inside its territory after US President Donald Trump announced a truce.
Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said military operations would carry on despite Trump’s claim that he had brokered a ceasefire between the neighbours. “Thailand will continue to perform military actions until we feel no more harm and threats to our land and people,” Anutin wrote on Facebook.
Cambodia accused Thailand of carrying out strikes hours after Trump said Bangkok and Phnom Penh had agreed to stop fighting. “On December 13, 2025, the Thai military used two F-16 fighter jets to drop seven bombs” on several targets, the Cambodian Defence Ministry posted on social media. “Thai forces have not stopped the bombing yet and are still continuing the bombing,” it added, listing aerial attacks on hotel buildings and bridges.
Khmer Times, citing Cambodia’s Ministry of Information, reported two hotels were hit in the Thmor Da area of Pursat province on the Thai border and published photos showing heavily damaged hotel and casino structures.
Hours earlier, Trump said he had spoken with Thailand’s and Cambodia’s leaders and that they had “agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim,” posting the claim on his Truth Social platform. He also said a roadside bomb that “killed and wounded numerous Thai soldiers was an accident,” a version Prime Minister Anutin later rejected, saying it was “certainly not a roadside accident.”
The strikes on Saturday were part of a sixth consecutive day of fighting since cross-border clashes began on Monday. At least 20 civilians and soldiers have been killed and around 200 people wounded so far. An estimated 600,000 people have been displaced on both sides of the roughly 800-kilometre (500-mile) border, where the conflict centers on disputed ownership of centuries-old temples.
