Border Tensions Erupt: Thailand-Cambodia Conflict Intensifies

Thailand has launched air strikes along its disputed border with Cambodia amid rising tensions following mutual ceasefire breach accusations. Both countries have been escalating military presence since a Thai soldier sustained injuries from newly-placed landmines allegedly laid by Cambodia, a claim Cambodia denies.

Thailand has initiated air strikes along its contested border with Cambodia after both nations accused each other of violating a U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

This escalation follows a period of tension, sparked when a Thai soldier was injured by landmines that Thailand claims were newly planted by Cambodia. Cambodia disputes this claim.

Both countries have substantial military assets, with Thailand's military significantly larger and better equipped than Cambodia's defensive forces.
