The long-running border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has once again turned violent. According to CNN report, on Monday (8 December 2025) morning, Thailand carried out an airstrike on a casino building in Cambodia with an F-16 fighter jet. The Thai Army alleges that this casino had now become a secret base for Cambodian soldiers. Heavy weapons, drones and ammunition were being stored here. Cambodia had started provocative movements in the border areas.

Amidst the ongoing tension between Thailand and Cambodia, US President Donald Trump said, “I ended 8 wars in 10 months, including Israel, Iran, Egypt-Ethiopia, Armenia-Azerbaijan, Kosovo-Serbia, Pakistan and India. They were fighting. I am sad to say this. Once again the war has started again between Cambodia and Thailand. Tomorrow I have to make a phone call. We are going to stop the war between powerful countries, Thailand and Cambodia.

Thai Army claims the casino had become a military base

Thai military officials have alleged that this casino located near the border was now being used as a secret military center. According to Thailand, a stockpile of heavy weapons was being collected in the casino complex. Drones and ammunition were stored. Cambodian soldiers were carrying out suspicious activities in the border area. Citing these reasons, Thailand called it a security-based action.

5 people died in firing

The firing from both sides of the border worsened the situation. So far, 4 Cambodian civilians have died, 1 Thai soldier has lost his life and many people are said to be injured. In May 2025 also, there was a conflict between the two armies for 5 days, in which more than 30 people died.

The peace agreement signed two months ago also faltered

In October 2025, in the presence of US President Donald Trump, both the countries had agreed to a ceasefire agreement. This peaceful period could not last long and within two months the situation again became explosive.
