Hey folks, tensions flared up this morning in northwest Cambodia’s Battambang province when artillery shells from Thai military units hit residential zones. 🤕🏠
According to a press release from Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior, one civilian house was totally destroyed and a Chinese national was injured in the crossfire. The ministry didn’t name the individual, but confirmed they’re receiving medical care.
This latest skirmish is part of a border clash that reignited on December 7, 2025. Both Cambodia and Thailand accuse each other of firing the first shot, so details are still murky.
