Border Tensions Reignite: Thailand and Cambodia Clash Amidst Fragile Ceasefire

Renewed fighting at the disputed border between Thailand and Cambodia tests a US-brokered ceasefire. Thailand conducted air strikes on Cambodian military installations amid claims of provocation. With thousands displaced, tensions remain high after previous deadly confrontations and unresolved territorial disputes.

Fighting between Thailand and Cambodia has erupted again at their disputed border, putting a US-brokered ceasefire to the test. Both nations accuse each other of provocation, with Thailand launching air strikes on Cambodian targets.

Thailand claims the air strikes are a preventive measure to deter further escalation, prompted by Cambodian military movements. Meanwhile, both countries are relocating thousands of civilians to safety as tensions rise.

This confrontation follows deadly clashes earlier this year, with both nations historically contesting sovereignty over several border regions, including historical sites like the Preah Vihear temple.
