According to the UN’s Facebook page, UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed strong concern over the armed conflict in the Cambodia–Thailand border area and called for an immediate ceasefire.
He stressed: “I urge both sides to agree immediately to a ceasefire and resolve all issues through dialogue.” He added: “I stand ready to assist efforts towards a peaceful resolution to bring the conflict to an end.”
The report notes that 27 July 2025 was the fourth day of what it described as Thai forces’ aggression against Cambodian territory. It describes the attacks, which began on 24 July, as brazen and brutal, and says Thai forces had widened the area of attacks to numerous locations along the Cambodia–Thailand border.
The report says that despite an agreement with U.S. President Donald Trump regarding a ceasefire, the Thai side continued to violate Cambodian territory. At a press conference on the morning of 27 July, a spokesperson for Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defence said Thai forces had attacked multiple locations in Cambodia from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. on 27 July 2025.
Thai forces continued shelling and used infantry in fierce attacks into Cambodian territory, while Cambodian forces held their positions and firmly defended the battlefront, according to the report. It says invading Thai troops on the battlefield were continuing intense attacks and had not yet heeded the government’s call for a ceasefire.
