Cambodia counts the cost of its border war with Thailand
Published: 12/18/2025

The border war between Thailand and Cambodia has resulted in severe military casualties on the Cambodian side, with many soldiers wounded and killed. Thailand's better-equipped military has caused extensive destruction along the border, including bombing key infrastructure like a bridge. Civilians have been forced to flee their homes, and cross-border trade has come to a halt. Despite the conflict, Cambodian pleas for peace and international mediation persist, as the country faces significant economic impact and humanitarian crises.
