CMAC warns of six to seven million Thai cluster munitions threatening Cambodia's future

The Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) and official Heng Ratana warned that up to six to seven million cluster submunitions were dispersed across Cambodia during Thailand's 2025 'war of aggression.' This poses a long-term threat to lives and economic development.

According to CMAC, as many as six to seven million cluster submunitions were deployed in Cambodia during Thailand's 2025 military actions. These munitions, which remain unexploded, could endanger civilians and hinder agricultural and industrial activities for decades. CMAC director-general Heng Ratana emphasized the potential for a prolonged economic crisis due to the land contamination.
