Bangkok: The Senate Military Committee has issued a strong condemnation of Cambodia, accusing it of dishonorable actions akin to a dog biting in ambush. The committee criticized Cambodian government leaders for lacking conscience and shame, opting for violence to distract from internal issues they have created.

According to Thai News Agency, the Senate Committee on Military Affairs and State Security, led by General Sawat Tasana, released a statement condemning Cambodia’s actions. On July 24, 2025, the Cambodian military violated Thailand’s sovereignty by using heavy weapons, including BM-21 rockets, RPG cannons, and small arms, along the Thai-Cambodian border in Surin, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani provinces. These attacks resulted in loss of life, injuries, and property damage among Thai citizens, marking an act of violence beyond what the Thai populace can tolerate.

Cambodia’s actions, including laying anti-personnel mines in violation of the Ottawa Convention, and firing weapons into Thai areas, were described as barbaric. These acts demonstrate a disregard for good neighborly relations and the safety of Thai citizens living near the border. The committee stated that Cambodia’s actions were premeditated, with malicious intent toward Thailand.

The committee expressed concern for Thai citizens in border areas and encouraged soldiers working to preserve national sovereignty. They called upon the sacred Triple Gem and Phra Siam Devathiraja to protect Thai people and soldiers from harm. The statement emphasized Thailand’s commitment to peace while asserting readiness to defend against any aggression.

General Sawat emphasized the need for government integration to resolve the issue, expressing confidence in the Ministry of Defense, led by General Nattapol Nakphanit, to handle the situation decisively and prevent further damage. He criticized the Cambodian military’s actions as premeditated and irresponsible, noting the loss of both soldiers and civilians.
