Cambodia: Thailand Bombed Hotels Near Border Despite Trump Ceasefire

  • Cambodia accuses Thailand of continued bombardment near the border, despite a recently announced ceasefire.
  • The accusation followed US President Trump's announcement that both nations agreed to restart a ceasefire.
  • Cambodia's Defence Ministry reported Thai F-16 jets dropped bombs on hotels and bridges on December 13, 2025.
  • Local reports cited two hotels bombed in the Thmor Da area of Pursat province, near the Thai border.
  • The conflict is rooted in historical territorial disputes, including a 1907 map and a 1962 ICJ ruling.

Why It Matters: Trump's announced ceasefire failed instantly, highlighting persistent border conflict.
