The Royal Thai Government strongly condemns the deliberate attack by Cambodia against civilians within Thai territory, resulting in severe injuries to innocent people, destruction of civilian property, and widespread fear among the population.

Such act constitutes a serious violation of fundamental principles of International Humanitarian Law, including the principle of distinction between military objectives and civilian objects, and the prohibition of attacks against civilians and civilians objects, which are  international law obligations that bind all States.

Thailand affirms that the affected civilians and communities had no involvement in any military activities, and attacks directed at civilian areas are unacceptable under any circumstances.

The Thai Government urgently calls upon the responsible party to:

 1. Immediately cease all attacks against civilians

 2. Fully comply with international humanitarian and legal obligations

 3. Take responsibility for the harm inflicted upon innocent civilians

Thailand reserves its right to take all necessary measures under international law to protect its people and sovereignty, and calls upon the international community to closely monitor the situation and uphold humanitarian principles without exception.
