Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has said military action against Cambodia will continue despite an earlier claim by United States President Donald Trump that he had successfully brokered a ceasefire between the neighbouring countries.
Thai officials have said they did not agree to a ceasefire, and Cambodia has not commented on Trump’s claim.
Thailand’s Defence Ministry spokesman Surasant Kongsiri said four soldiers were killed on Saturday in the Chong An Ma area, bringing the toll to 14 soldiers since fighting erupted on Monday. Cambodian authorities have not reported any casualties as a result of these most recent attacks.
More than 20 people have now been killed across both countries, with nearly 200 more wounded over six days of renewed fighting. An estimated 600,000 people have also been displaced on both sides of the 800km-long (500-mile) Thailand-Cambodia border, where the conflict centres on disputed ownership of centuries-old temples.
“Thailand will continue to perform military actions until we feel no more harm and threats to our land and people. I want to make it clear. Our actions this morning already spoke,” Anutin said in a Facebook post on Saturday morning.
The Thai leader’s announcement came after Cambodia had earlier accused Thailand of continuing to drop bombs in its territory, hours after President Trump said Bangkok and Phnom Penh had agreed to stop fighting.
“On December 13, 2025, the Thai military used two F-16 fighter jets to drop seven bombs” on a number of targets, the Cambodian Ministry of Defence said in a post on social media.
“Thai forces have not stopped the bombing yet and are still continuing the bombing,” the ministry said, listing numerous aerial and ground attacks on villages and settlements up until 8am (01:00 GMT) on Saturday morning.
Local news outlet The Khmer Times cited the Cambodian Ministry of Information as saying two hotels were bombed in the Thmor Da area of Pursat province, on the border with Thailand. The news outlet published a series of photos showing badly bombed hotel and casino buildings.
