In the wake of a violent incident near the Cambodia-Thailand border, local authorities and humanitarian donors have stepped in to assist hundreds of residents who sought refuge at the Wat Chan Sy Samaky Ratanaram sanctuary. The shooting, which occurred in the village of Prey Chan, resulted in one fatality and left three individuals seriously injured. Despite no further armed clashes reported on November 13 and 14, authorities have maintained a heightened state of alert in the affected areas of Prey Chan and Chouk Chey, as confirmed by the Cambodian news agency AKP. Oum Reatrey, the provincial governor of Banteay Meanchey, emphasized the government’s commitment to protecting its citizens, stating, ‘The Royal Government will not allow any citizen to be in a vulnerable situation during this difficult time.’ Meanwhile, Sophea Eat, the Permanent Secretary of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, briefed the diplomatic corps and international organizations on the recent border tensions. She disclosed that Cambodia had formally protested the shooting by Thai forces on November 12, highlighting that the unauthorized use of force has disrupted the ongoing border demarcation efforts agreed upon by both nations in October.
