AKP Oddar Meanchey, February 05, 2026 — 

Mr. Met Measpheakdey (Pic. 1), Deputy Governor and Spokesperson of the provincial administration, briefs reporters on Wednesday that Thai troops have installed box culverts and barbed wire approximately 420 metres inside the O’Smach area from Boundary Pillar No. 15, a location previously acknowledged by the Thai side on Dec. 28, 2025, following a ceasefire that took effect on Dec. 27, 2025.

The Royal Government of Cambodia, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, has issued repeated diplomatic protests against these serious violations by Thai forces, reaffirming Cambodia’s firm commitment to the ceasefire, joint statements, and its position of not recognising any alteration of the international boundary through the use of force.
