Thailand has launched a series of airstrikes against Cambodia, aiming to weaken its military capabilities amid renewed border tensions that have disrupted a fragile ceasefire orchestrated by U.S. President Donald Trump. Each nation has accused the other of instigating the latest round of hostilities.

The clashes have resulted in casualties, with one Thai soldier and four Cambodian civilians reportedly killed. Thai officials claim they acted in response to Cambodia's mobilization of heavy weaponry, while Cambodia decries the strikes as aggressive violations of peace agreements.

Despite calls for return to dialogue from international leaders, including the U.N., Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul insists on no talks until Cambodia meets specific conditions. The ongoing conflict revives long-standing territorial disputes and underlying tensions between the countries.
