Escalating Tensions: Thailand Launches Airstrikes on Cambodia Amid Border Clashes
Thailand has escalated military actions against Cambodia, launching airstrikes along their disputed border amid increasing tensions and deadly clashes. The Royal Thai Air Force deployed F-16s to target military positions in Cambodia after a Thai soldier was killed in recent confrontations. This resurgence of violence threatens a peace agreement brokered by former President Trump, which recently appeared to be crumbling. Both nations are trading accusations, with Cambodia alleging cross-border attacks from Thai forces, while Thailand claims evidence of Cambodians opening fire first. In response to the unrest, evacuations have been ordered for Thai nationals in conflict zones near the border. The situation remains volatile as both sides prepare for further military engagement.
