PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – The Ministry of National Defence (MND) is making an urgent public request to everyone—citizens and social media users alike—to immediately stop sharing certain information online. This step is critical right now to protect the lives of our troops and keep national defense strategies secret.

Because of the current security situation, the Ministry asks you to never post the following types of photos, videos, or messages on any social media like Facebook, TikTok, or YouTube:

What You Must NOT Share:

• Troop Locations: Do not share maps, photos, or details that show where our soldiers are standing or hiding (like trenches, shelters, or command posts).
• Military Movements: Do not show any videos or news about where our soldiers or weapons are moving or being placed.
• Supply Routes: Do not reveal the roads or paths being used to send food, equipment, or supplies to our military forces.
• Operations: Do not post anything that details specific military plans or operations.

Why This Is So Important

Sharing this kind of information, even accidentally, can be very dangerous.

• Protecting Lives: Leaked locations and plans put the lives of our officers and soldiers directly at risk from the invading forces.
• National Security: We must keep critical military strategies secret to defend our country effectively.

The Ministry thanks everyone for their understanding and cooperation, asking for this measure to be followed with a spirit of patriotism and high responsibility.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – Cambodia has categorically rejected reports published by several Thai media outlets alleging that Cambodia initiated the recent cross-border attack using heavy and destructive weapons along the Cambodia-Thailand border. The Cambodian government confirms these claims are false information.

Thai Military Identified as Aggressor

The official statement clarified that, contrary to Thai reports, Thai military forces launched the attack on Cambodian forces at approximately 05:00 AM on the morning of December 8, 2025.

• Pattern of Provocation: This morning’s attack followed a sustained pattern of provocation, including numerous aggressive actions by Thai forces over many days, specifically highlighting the incident yesterday at the Prorlean Thmar area.
• Intent: The objective of these actions is clearly to instigate confrontation and escalate military tension with Cambodia.

Commitment to Peace: Two Assaults, Zero Retaliation

Cambodia underscored its unwavering commitment to diplomatic principles:

• Non-Retaliation: Standing firm on the spirit of respecting all previous agreements and resolving conflicts peacefully according to international law, Cambodia did not retaliate at all during the two recent assaults.
• Vigilance: Cambodian forces continue to monitor the border situation vigilantly and with the utmost caution, prioritizing peace and stability.

Call for Impartial Investigation

To ensure accountability and verify the facts, Cambodia has taken diplomatic steps:

• Second AOT Notification: Cambodia has, for the second time, informed the ASEAN Observer Team (AOT) about the recent incident.
• Request for Probe: Cambodia plans to formally request that the AOT conduct an immediate on-site investigation into the matter to ensure transparency, justice, and impartiality.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defence (MND) has forcefully debunked “false information” circulating on the official Thai 2nd Army Area page and select Thai media outlets. These outlets falsely claimed that Cambodia initiated firing and moved heavy weapons along the Cambodia-Thailand border.

The MND, through its Spokeswoman, H.E. Lieutenant General Maly Socheata, stated that the dissemination of this misinformation is a clear attempt to mislead public opinion and create a pretext for military escalation.

I. Fact Check: Thailand Started the Dec. 8 Hostilities

The Cambodian government directly contradicted the Thai narrative, identifying Thailand as the aggressor in this latest escalation:

• Timeline: Thai military forces initiated the attack against Cambodian personnel early this morning, December 8, 2025, starting at approximately 5:00 AM.
• Intent to Provoke: This unprovoked morning attack followed countless provocative actions by the Thai military over several days, notably the incident yesterday at Prorlean Thmar. The MND confirms these actions clearly intended to incite armed conflict.
• Official Denial: The claim that Cambodia opened fire first or utilized heavy weapons along the border is untrue.

II. Cambodia’s Strategic Non-Retaliation

Despite facing a second direct attack in 24 hours, Cambodia emphasized its commitment to de-escalation:

• Upholding Agreements: Cambodian forces did not return fire during this second incident, standing firm on the spirit of respecting all agreed-upon ceasefire agreements and resolving disputes peacefully according to international law.
• Vigilant Monitoring: Cambodia’s military forces are maintaining the utmost caution, continuously monitoring the border’s evolving situation.

III. Diplomatic Measures: AOT Investigation Requested

To ensure transparency and seek justice, Cambodia is pursuing immediate diplomatic channels:

• Second ASEAN Alert: Cambodia has officially notified the ASEAN Observer Team (AOT) for the second time about a deliberate attack on its forces.
• Demand for Probe: Cambodia plans to formally request that the AOT urgently deploy to the locations to conduct a comprehensive investigation, which will help establish the truth and ensure accountability.

End to Rumors: General Attends Preah Vihear Ceremony

His presence decisively ends weeks of false rumors and fabricated claims previously circulated by several Thai media outlets. Following the five-day border clashes between Cambodia and Thailand (July 24–28), a number of Thai television networks, newspapers, and online platforms published unverified reports suggesting that General Srey Deuk had been killed in action.

Fabricated Claims Followed Border Clashes

These unfounded claims sowed confusion within the Cambodian public. They were quickly seized upon by certain overseas opposition groups, who accused the Cambodian government of hiding the general’s alleged death.

Journalistic Ethics Questioned Amid Disinformation

With General Srey Deuk now seen alive and active, supported by authentic, non-AI-generated images verified by Fresh AI, the facts are no longer in dispute. This development exposes a serious lapse in fact-checking and a disregard for basic journalistic ethics on the part of the Thai outlets that spread the misinformation.

Will Thai Outlets Acknowledge Shortcomings?

Now that the truth has been fully revealed, one question remains: Will the Thai media outlets that fueled this disinformation step forward to issue a clarification or publicly acknowledge their journalistic shortcomings?
