AKP Phnom Penh, December 08, 2025 --

Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defence has issued a press release condemning Thailand’s 2nd Army Area for disseminating false information regarding alleged Cambodian military activities along the border.

According to the press release, on the night of Dec. 7, approaching midnight on Dec. 8, 2025, the Ministry noted that the official page of the Thai 2nd Army Area was actively spreading false information that clearly contradicted the truth by publishing claims that “Cambodia has moved heavy and destructive weapons and equipment along the Cambodian-Thailand border.”

“This misinformation was subsequently quoted and republished by some Thai media outlets with the intention of misleading national and international public opinion and using it as a pretext to re-escalate military tensions with Cambodia,” said the Ministry.

The Ministry of National Defence of the Kingdom of Cambodia denied this claim and clarified the facts as follows:

1. The statement published by the official page of the Thai 2nd Army Area, as well as by several Thai media outlets, alleging that Cambodia has moved heavy and destructive weapons and equipment along the Cambodia-Thailand border, is false information.

2. Cambodian forces have not undertaken any action that violates the ceasefire agreement or the Joint Declaration on Peace between Cambodia and Thailand, contrary to what has been reported by Thai social media and media outlets.

“The Ministry of National Defence of the Kingdom of Cambodia reaffirms its strong commitment to fully respect and implement the ceasefire agreement and the Joint Declaration on Peace between Cambodia and Thailand. The Ministry will continue to work closely at all levels to promote practical cooperation, strengthen peace and stability between the two countries, and return to normalcy as soon as possible,” the press release concluded.
