The Royal Thai Army issued a formal condemnation on Sunday against Cambodian military forces for launching rocket attacks on civilian zones in Thailand’s Si Sa Ket Province, resulting in one civilian fatality and property destruction. According to an official statement, Cambodian troops targeted non-military areas including residential neighborhoods and school districts with BM-21 rocket systems on December 14, 2025.
The assault claimed the life of one Thai citizen who suffered fatal shrapnel wounds, while additional damage included the complete destruction of one residential property through subsequent fires. This represents the second consecutive day of cross-border attacks focusing on civilian infrastructure, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing border tensions between the Southeast Asian nations.
Army spokesperson Winthai Suvaree explicitly stated that no ceasefire agreements are currently under consideration between the conflicting parties. The Thai military attributes the continued hostilities to Cambodia’s persistent aggression toward both military installations and civilian settlements, which Bangkok characterizes as constituting a severe national security threat.
The Royal Thai Army emphasized that defensive operations will continue indefinitely until Cambodian forces completely terminate all hostile activities. The current military posture reflects Thailand’s commitment to protecting its territorial integrity and civilian population while maintaining the right to self-defense under international norms.
