Cambodian Army Advances Near Chong Bok Amid Ongoing Cambodia-Thailand Border Fighting

On the second consecutive day of intense cross-border clashes between Cambodia and Thailand, Thai military officials reported renewed Cambodian advances early this morning.

According to sources, Cambodian forces moved across the border aiming to capture Hill 469, a strategic elevation near Chong Bok in the Nam Yuen District. However, the Royal Thai Army responded swiftly with heavy artillery and mortar fire, successfully repelling the Cambodian advance.

The fighting marks an escalation in the ongoing border dispute that has seen both sides engaged in sporadic skirmishes in recent days.

The Thai military has reinforced its positions in the Nam Yuen area and continues to monitor the situation closely, cautioning that tensions remain high.

This latest clash underscores the fragile security situation along the Cambodia-Thailand border, with diplomatic efforts yet to yield a resolution.
