Cambodia: Thai Aggression on Border Kills 10 Civilians – Wounds 60! (12.12.2025)

Blogger’s Note: Thailand is an impoverished sh’thole controlled by an absolute monarch who does anything the US demands (this attitude is compounded by primitive and deterministic Buddhist notions of “Kamma”). Thailand, for absolutely no real reason – is attacking Cambodia at the behest of Trump II – who does not like the fact that Cambodia (Kampuchea) historically aligns itself with China. Indeed, in ancient times, Cambodia (like Okinawa) was considered part of the distant (peripheral) Chinese Empire. Thai troops carry US-provided weapons – whilst Cambodian troops carry Chinese-made weaponry – there is the geo-politics writ-large. ACW (12.12.2025)

PHNOM PENH, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) — At least 10 Cambodian civilians have been killed and 60 others wounded in the latest round of border conflict with Thailand, a Cambodian Defense Spokesperson said on Thursday.

“The casualties included 10 civilian fatalities, including one infant, and 60 civilian injuries,” Cambodian Defense Ministry’s Undersecretary of State and Spokesperson Lt. Gen. Maly Socheata said in a press briefing.

The Cambodia-Thailand border conflict has reignited since Sunday afternoon and is still going on as of Thursday morning, Socheata said, adding that the Thai army has fired artillery shells at many locations in Cambodian territory.

Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior released a press release on Wednesday night, saying that more than 56,000 families, with 190,000 civilians, have fled their homes for safe shelters.
