AKP Phnom Penh, August 04, 2025 --

From midnight until 6:10 a.m. this morning, the situation along the frontline in Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey provinces remained calm and stable.

The update was provided by H.E. Lt. Gen. Maly Socheata, Under Secretary of State and Spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defence, during a press briefing held in Phnom Penh this morning.

Nevertheless, she emphasised that the Cambodian armed forces remain strong and fully vigilant in fulfilling their duties.

“Thanks to the determined, transparent, sincere, and unwavering commitment of the Royal Government of Cambodia and its armed forces, Cambodia continues to fully respect and implement all provisions of the ceasefire agreement reached with Thailand on July 28, 2025, in Putrajaya, Malaysia, with the goal of ensuring a stable recovery of the situation,” the spokesperson stated.

Regarding the issue of captured Cambodian soldiers, aside from the two young military personnel who were returned to Cambodia on Aug. 1, 18 others remain in Thai custody as of this morning.

Last night, Senate President Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen said that Cambodia is actively working to reach out to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to assist in securing the return of the remaining 18 soldiers, who were captured after the ceasefire took effect.
