Analysis: Cambodia, the Global Epicenter of Transnational Cybercrime
INITIAL PROVOCATION
Cambodia initiated the conflict by planting PMN-2 anti-personnel mines in Thai territory, violating the Ottawa Treaty, and then launching the first military attack.
ROCKET ATTACKS ON CIVILIANS
Cambodian forces fired BM-21 multiple rocket launchers into Thai civilian zones. These war crimes resulted in casualties including women, children, and the elderly, and destroyed shops and homes.

An Analysis of Cambodia's Information Warfare Against Thailand (July 2025)
WEAPONIZING IMAGERY
Images are deliberately twisted. A Reuters photo of a firefighting plane was falsely presented as a chemical attack. Photos of Thai territories, like a burned 7-Eleven, were used to spread false narratives.

THAILAND'S STANCE
Thailand has always sought a peaceful resolution, acting only in self-defense and adhering to international law. The message is clear: Stop the attacks. Stop the lies. Demand accountability.
