The Cambodian Ministry of National Defence publicly disputed reports published by Thai military agencies and Thai media today (8 Dec, posting images on its official Facebook page stamped with the label “fake news.” The ministry challenged accounts circulating in Thailand regarding early-morning tensions along the shared border.

According to the ministry’s statement, claims that Cambodian forces initiated an attack or deployed heavy weapons near the frontier were inaccurate. Cambodian authorities asserted that the situation began with Thai military activity on December 8 and rejected allegations by Thai security agencies.

The post drew immediate reactions from Thai social media users, many of whom urged Cambodian officials to acknowledge what they described as the actual conditions along the border. Several commenters argued that the circumstances on the ground were clear and encouraged transparency from both sides.

The online exchange comes amid heightened sensitivities between the two countries, with officials on both sides signaling the need for calm communication as they respond to developing events along the boundary.
