(Border Region): On 10 October 2025, Fresh News refuted the publication of images by Khaosod English and Thai Press, which claimed that Cambodian civilians were gathering at Prey Chan and Chouk Chey villages near the Cambodia–Thailand border.
Fresh News reporters stationed at Prey Chan confirmed that as of 10:50 a.m. on 10 October 2025, there had been no incidents of civilian gatherings in the area. It is important to note that the images used by Khaosod English and Thai Press are old photos that were republished without verifying their source or the exact time they were taken.
This broadcast appears to have been made with malicious intent, aiming to shift blame onto Cambodia. As of 10:50 a.m. today, the situation on the ground remains calm, though border defense readiness has been reinforced.
The dissemination of such misinformation risks causing confusion and could undermine peace and stability along the border, which is currently under the oversight of the General Border Committee (GBC) and ASEAN monitoring teams.
Fresh News calls on both domestic and international media outlets to uphold their responsibility in reporting by verifying information and sources thoroughly before publication, especially during this sensitive time when the Cambodia–Thailand border is under political pressure and close international monitoring.
The publications by the above Thai media serve as an example of inaccurate reporting that could mislead the public and negatively impact national security along the border.
