In video footage released by Cambodia’s Ministry of Information on Wednesday, Dec. 17, a Cambodian woman recounted the moment her family decided to flee their home as gunfire erupted.

“At that moment, my husband told me it was not safe here. Bullets were falling, and all we could hear was gunfire,” she said.

She added that her husband rushed back to gather basic necessities but managed to take only a cooking pot and a small amount of rice before they fled.

“He was worried he wouldn’t be able to get the pot,” the woman said, underscoring the urgency and fear surrounding their escape.

Renewed border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia entered their 11th day on Wednesday, with at least 52 people killed on both sides since the conflict reignited on Dec. 7.

Cambodia’s Defense Ministry said Wednesday that the Thai army carried out artillery attacks and drone strikes in the border region, according to the Khmer Times.

The ministry added that Cambodian forces responded by firing BM-21 rockets at Thai positions.

The Thai army, however, said intermittent clashes continued across border areas, with fighting involving mortars, tanks and bomb-dropping drones, according to the daily Thai Enquirer.

Amid reports that Thai forces captured Chinese-made anti-tank missiles from Cambodian positions, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Wednesday that Beijing has no involvement in the conflict.

“Let me stress that China has conducted normal defense cooperation with both Thailand and Cambodia, which does not target any third party and has nothing to do with the Thailand-Cambodia border conflict,” Guo told a news conference in Beijing.

The developments came after Thai soldiers captured the Chong Anh Ma area following heavy fighting, according to public broadcaster Thai PBS.

Thailand said Tuesday that Cambodia must be the first to announce a ceasefire to halt the deadly clashes, which have displaced more than 700,000 people on both sides of the border.

Thai Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maratee Nalita Andamo said any ceasefire must meet specific conditions and be credible, urging Cambodia to “sincerely cooperate in demining efforts along the border” to end the conflict.

According to Thai authorities, 19 Thai soldiers and 16 Thai civilians have been killed so far. Cambodia’s Interior Ministry said 17 Cambodian civilians were killed and 77 others injured.

The clashes have continued despite US President Donald Trump saying on Friday that the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia had agreed to halt the renewed fighting.

The two countries signed a peace agreement in October in Kuala Lumpur in the presence of Trump and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, but it was later suspended after Thai soldiers were seriously injured in a landmine explosion in a border province.

Thai authorities also said around 18 Cambodian soldiers remain in Thai custody following incidents over the past five months.

Thailand and Cambodia have a long-running border dispute that has repeatedly erupted into violence, including clashes in July in which at least 48 people were killed.
