Thailand Launches Rocket Attack on Cambodian Civilians in O'Smach, Oddar Meanchey Province
On the morning of July 28, 2025, the Thai military launched a rocket attack targeting a civilian gas station in O'Smach, located in Cambodia's Oddar Meanchey Province. The assault has triggered a rapidly escalating humanitarian crisis, displacing more than 80,000 people from their homes.
Among those affected are over 10,000 children and teachers, as numerous schools in the conflict zone have been forced to close and relocate to safer areas. The disruption to education and daily life has been devastating for local communities.
Emergency relief operations are underway, but there is a critical shortage of food, clean water, clothing, medical supplies, and shelter. Cambodian authorities and humanitarian organizations are urgently appealing to the international community for immediate assistance.
This act of aggression represents a serious violation of international humanitarian law and further escalates tensions in the region. The Cambodian government has strongly condemned the attack and is calling on the global community to intervene and ensure the safety and rights of innocent civilians are protected.
