Reference News Network, December 13 report, according to AFP, on December 13, Cambodia accused its neighboring Thailand of launching a new "bombing" campaign against its territory, despite previous assurances from US President Trump that the two countries had agreed to a ceasefire.
According to the report, the Cambodian Ministry of Defense posted on the social media platform X: "On December 13, the Thai army used two F-16 fighter jets to drop seven bombs on multiple targets." The Cambodian Defense Department accused the Royal Thai Air Force of "still not stopping the bombing."
Just hours before the bombing, Trump indeed stated that Thailand and Cambodia had agreed to halt military action. He wrote on the "Truth Social" website: "I had a great conversation this morning with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet about the regrettable resumption of hostilities. They agreed to 'stop' all shooting from tonight onwards and return to the original peace agreement I initially negotiated with the help of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim."
This round of clashes between the two countries entered its seventh day on December 13, and has already resulted in at least 20 deaths and tens of thousands displaced. (Translated by Lu Longjun)
