BANGKOK, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) — Thailand's 1st Army Area Command said on Wednesday that its task force and air force carried out a joint air strike using an F-16 fighter jet on a Cambodian military base across the border from Ban Nong Chan in Sa Kaeo province.

As clashes between Thailand and Cambodia escalate, the Royal Thai Navy has mobilized its sea, land and air forces to protect border areas in Chanthaburi and Trat provinces, according to Thai media reports on Wednesday.

Reports indicate that naval patrol vessels have been deployed to the area for 24-hour patrols and surveillance, prepared for any escalation. The navy has also warned all Thai fishing vessels to avoid the maritime border with Cambodia and to immediately report any Cambodian warships they spot.

Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told local media in Bangkok on Wednesday that he had not contacted the Cambodian side and that the current moment was not suitable for negotiations.

Thai Foreign Minister Sikhasak Phuangketkeow told foreign media on Tuesday that the current situation is not suitable for third-party mediation and that Cambodia must take the lead in de-escalating tensions.

The border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand resumed on Sunday afternoon. Both sides accused the other of orchestrating the attack and confirmed casualties.

Bishkek, December 10 (Xinhua) — The Central Commission for Elections and Referenda (CEC) of Kyrgyzstan adopted a resolution on the results of the early elections of deputies of the Zhogorku Kenesh (parliament) held on November 30, 2025. This was reported on the CEC's official website on Wednesday.

According to the resolution, the Central Election Commission recognized the elections as valid in 30 multi-member constituencies. Based on the voting results, 87 candidates were elected to parliament in 29 constituencies. The election results in the 13th multi-member constituency were declared invalid due to violations of electoral law.

In the aforementioned early elections, 4,294,243 Kyrgyz citizens were included on the voter list. Of the total number of voters, 1,584,446 took part in the vote, representing 36.90 percent of the total.

To ensure voting, the Central Election Commission opened 2,492 polling stations across the country, 27 stations for remote voting, and 100 polling stations outside of Kyrgyzstan.

According to data previously published by the Central Election Commission, 460 candidates participated in the early parliamentary elections. Thirty multi-member constituencies were established for the parliamentary elections, with three deputies elected in each constituency using the majoritarian system. In each constituency, no more than two of the three seats may be held by members of the same gender. At least 30 parliamentary seats are held by members of the same gender.

As a reminder, on September 25, members of the Kyrgyz Parliament voted to dissolve themselves. The proposal was put forward by an initiative group of 32 members. As explained, there is a short period of time between two important political events—the presidential and parliamentary elections—so, in order to strengthen the political system and stability in the country, the initiative group proposed that parliament voluntarily resign.

On September 30, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov signed a decree scheduling early parliamentary elections for November 30, 2025.

The Zhogorku Kenesh (Federal Assembly) is Kyrgyzstan's unicameral parliament, consisting of 90 members elected for five-year terms. According to the initial schedule, new parliamentary elections were scheduled for November 2026, but presidential elections are now scheduled for just two months later, in January 2027.

An IT laboratory has opened at the RUDN University Graduate School of Management. It is fully equipped with domestic software from the university's partners—the leader in the domestic infrastructure software market, Astra Group, and the computer equipment manufacturer, ICL Techno.

Representatives of the companies and the university's rector, Oleg Yastrebov, took part in the opening ceremony.

"RUDN University, as the most international university in Russia, with students from nearly 170 countries, today exports not only Russian education but also Russian technology. Choosing domestic equipment and technology is one way to achieve this," said Oleg Yastrebov, Rector of RUDN University.

At our university, over 100 administrative workstations are running stable software from Astra Group, installed under an agreement concluded in 2022 between the university and the organization. The university will now also begin using the Group's software for teaching and learning in its laboratory. Teaching will be conducted using the Astra Linux operating system (OS), pre-installed on 25 personal computers (ICL BasicRay B103 G3 system units and ICL ViewRay 2417IFH monitors) from the Russian company ICL Techno. Active participation in this joint project with Astra Group will allow the partner to strengthen its collaboration with the university and directly contribute to addressing the shortage of highly qualified specialists.

Contribution to the future

The first cohort of students will include more than 150 students from the Graduate School of Management (GSOM) at RUDN University, studying business informatics, digital design, and web development. The university is currently modernizing its educational programs across all GSOM disciplines, planning for 60% of undergraduate students to study using Astra Linux. Subsequently, classes will be available across all university programs and will be taught by instructors certified in Astra Linux courses. RUDN University also plans to increase the number of employee positions and migrate its divisions to the domestic operating system.

A certification center will be opened at the laboratory, where external specialists will be trained to use Russian software products. This initiative will help improve the quality of IT education and prepare personnel prepared to address practical industry challenges.

"The tenth anniversary laboratory is a symbol of the maturity of our systematic approach to creating an educational environment, and we are delighted that it opened at RUDN University. This step will strengthen our successful collaboration: following the stable operation of the university's administrative unit using Astra Linux, we, together with ICL Techno, are introducing Russian technologies into the educational process. Now students from around the world will be able to study and apply them in practice. I believe this is a significant contribution to the future of the country's technological sovereignty," said Roman Borisov, Director of Education Development and Sales at Astra Group.

"We are pleased to announce the opening of a joint ICL Techno and Astra Group auditorium at RUDN University, equipped with modern Russian computing equipment and software. Students will be able to gain in-demand knowledge and skills in information technology. I am confident that the lab will enhance the educational process and become an important platform for developing collaboration and implementing new projects," said Alexey Shchedrov, Business Development Director at ICL Techno.
