SURIN/BURIRAM, THAILAND - DECEMBER 21, 2025: Border towns in northeastern Thailand fell largely silent on Saturday, Dec. 21, as renewed clashes with Cambodia disrupted daily life in Surin and Buriram provinces.

Footage from the area showed shuttered shops, deserted roads and shelters made from concrete pipes amid the ongoing border conflict.

According to Thai authorities, during the clashes, 21 Thai soldiers and one civilian have been killed, while Cambodia’s Interior Ministry said 18 Cambodian civilians have been killed and 78 others injured.

Thailand also said that 33 civilians were killed as "collateral effects of the situation," as in they were killed indirectly due to the situation.

The clashes have continued despite US President Donald Trump saying last week that the countries’ leaders had agreed to halt the 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 that was later suspended after Thai soldiers were seriously injured in a landmine explosion in a border province.

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.
