Anadolu Agency (8 December 2025)

Malaysia on Monday urged Bangkok and Phnom Penh to exercise "maximum restraint," following airstrikes by Thailand along the disputed border with Cambodia.

This came as Thailand launched airstrikes early Monday after fresh clashes left one Thai soldier dead and four others injured, threatening a fragile ceasefire agreement brokered by US President Donald Trump, local media reports said.

"Thailand and Cambodia are close partners of Malaysia and key members of ASEAN. We urge both sides to exercise maximum restraint, maintain open channels of communication and make full use of the mechanisms in place. Malaysia stands ready to support steps that can help restore calm and avert further incidents," Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said in a statement.
