Preah Sihanouk provincial television station reported on July 25, 2025, that Thai armed forces had launched armed attacks against Cambodia for two consecutive days. Cambodia’s Minister of Education, Hang Chuon Naron, confirmed that four shells fired by Thai forces landed on the grounds of Manorom No.1 and No.2 primary schools in Banteay Ampil District, Oddar Meanchey Province, that morning. The station reported that no casualties resulted.
Oddar Meanchey Deputy Governor ម៉េត មាសភក្តី said that, due to the fighting, all 260 schools across the province had suspended classes. By noon, 3,436 households had been relocated to various safe shelters and housed together.
According to the report, the first clash occurred on the morning of July 24, 2025, along the Cambodia-Thailand border in Oddar Meanchey Province. The Thai military subsequently expanded its strikes, with artillery fire reaching Tamoan Thom Temple, the area referred to in the report as “Skull Mountain,” and other border areas, keeping the situation tense.
