Thailand continues attack on Preah Vihear Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which reflects the true intention of its invasion to Cambodia.
Continued Armed Aggression Against the Preah Vihear Temple by the Thai Armed Forces.
The Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts of the Kingdom of Cambodia expresses its strongest condemnation of the continued and intensified shelling of Preah Vihear Temple by the armed forces of the Kingdom of Thailand on 27 July 2025.
These renewed acts of aggression have placed the temple in grave and unprecedented danger. Significant portions of the structure and its surrounding sacred landscape have been severely damaged or destroyed.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Preah Vihear Temple stands as a symbol of Cambodia's national identity, historical continuity, and spiritual heritage. These attacks not only violate Cambodia's sovereignty but also endanger the shared cultural heritage of humanity.
