Information Minister : Thai Aggressive Attacks Target Civilians and Civilian Infrastructure
The Thai military has used a wide range of heavy weapons, including fighter jets and cluster munitions, to carry out acts of aggression against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Cambodia.
According to H.E. Neth Pheaktra, Minister of Information, over the past eight days of armed aggression, the Thai military has deliberately targeted civilians, including civilian homes, villages, roads and bridges, schools, hospitals, and Buddhist temples.
These attacks, involving heavy weapons, aerial bombardment, cluster bombs, and toxic smoke, have resulted in the deaths of 11 innocent Cambodian civilians, including one infant, and injuries to 59 others, as of 14 December 2025, he underlined.
As of the evening of Dec. 14, 2025, the Minister continued, the number of people displaced by the Thai military’s armed aggression has reached 120,814 families, equivalent to 403,601 individuals, including 208,266 women and 97,209 children.
