PHNOM PENH, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- The Thai military forces on Saturday morning used two F-16 fighter jets to drop bombs at some locations in Cambodia's Pursat province, the Cambodian defense ministry said in a press release.

At 5:50 a.m. and 5:55 a.m., the Thai forces dropped two bombs to destroy a hotel building in Tmor Da area, the press release said.

At 6:02 a.m. and 6:07 a.m., the Thai forces dropped two bombs to destroy Chei Chomnas bridge, it said, adding that at 6:12 a.m., the Thai forces dropped one more bomb to destroy Chei Chomnas bridge (Old Bridge).

"Thai forces have not stopped the bombing yet," the press release said.

There's no response from the Thai side yet.

The Cambodia-Thailand border conflict has reignited since Dec. 7. U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday on social media that he held separate calls with the Thai and Cambodian leaders, and that both sides agreed to a ceasefire effective Friday evening. ■
