Cambodia Reports No Border Gunfire as Ceasefire Holds​

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (Jan. 2, 2026)— Cambodia reported no incidents of gunfire along its border with Thailand on Thursday, as both sides continued to observe a ceasefire agreed late last month, the Ministry of National Defence said.

At a daily press briefing, ministry spokesperson Lt. Gen. Maly Socheata said Cambodian authorities had recorded no attacks by Thai forces between noon on Dec. 27 and 4 p.m. on Jan. 2.

She said conditions in military regions four and five remained stable, with both countries adhering to the truce reached during a General Border Committee meeting on Dec. 27.

Socheata added that while the border was calm, the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces remained on high alert to safeguard territorial integrity. She said the government and public remained united, and authorities were continuing to closely monitor developments.

The ministry reaffirmed Cambodia’s commitment to implementing all agreed principles, including the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord signed by the prime ministers of Cambodia and Thailand during the ASEAN Summit in October 2025, witnessed by U.S. President Donald Trump and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Cambodia and Thailand agreed to an immediate ceasefire during the GBC meeting in Thailand, effective from midday Dec. 27. The truce was initially set to last 72 hours.
