Hey fam! In a dramatic twist this Saturday morning (Dec 13), Cambodia says Thai F-16 fighter jets dropped bombs on multiple sites in Pursat Province—just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire. 💥
According to Phnom Penh's defense ministry, the strikes hit a hotel in Tmor Da at 5:50 and 5:55 a.m., then Chei Chomnas bridge at 6:02 and 6:07 a.m., with a follow-up strike at 6:12 a.m. to take down the Old Bridge. "Thai forces have not stopped the bombing yet," the statement warned.
No word yet from Bangkok. The Cambodia-Thailand border flare-up first reignited on Dec 7, and Trump said on Friday he spoke with both leaders, agreeing to a ceasefire effective that evening. Clearly, the jets kept flying this morning 😰
What's next? Locals are on edge as hopes for peace clash with ongoing air raids. Stay tuned as tension soars over this historic border where ancient temples meet modern geopolitics.
