(Oddar Meanchey): Despite ongoing mediation efforts by the United States and China to end the armed conflict between Cambodia and Thailand, the Thai military has continued its attacks, openly disregarding international calls for restraint.

At around 11:00 p.m. on December 19, 2025, two Thai Air Force F-16 fighter jets dropped three bombs on O Chik Bridge, completely destroying the structure and rendering it impassable.

The O Chik Bridge, located on National Road 68, connects Siem Reap and Oddar Meanchey provinces. For more than a decade, it had served as a critical civilian lifeline, supporting daily transportation, local commerce, agricultural logistics, and access to schools for students in surrounding communities.

The destruction of the bridge has severely disrupted livelihoods and mobility for residents in both provinces, compounding the humanitarian impact of the conflict.
