Thailand, Cambodia sign new ceasefire deal to end deadly border clashes

At least 47 people were killed and more than a million displaced in three weeks of fighting with artillery, tanks, drones and jets, according to official tallies.

“Both sides agree to an immediate ceasefire after the time of signature of this Joint Statement with effect from 12 hours noon (local time) on December 27, 2025,” said the statement signed by the two countries’ defence ministers.

The truce applies to “all types of weapons, including attacks on civilians, civilian objects and infrastructure, and military objectives of either side, in all cases and all areas”, it said.

Both sides agreed to freeze all troop movements and allow civilians living in border areas to return home as soon as possible, the statement added.
