The conflict along the Thailand-Cambodia border has intensified, with Thailand carrying out airstrikes that reportedly target casino hubs and military locations within Cambodian territory. As the hostilities continue, both nations are experiencing significant military and civilian casualties, with Thailand also employing measures against perceived scams linked to its neighbor. The UN has raised alarms about the escalating violence and its impact on civilians, advising tourists to exercise extreme caution in the region. Reports indicate that displaced populations are at risk due to ongoing bombings and military actions, with fears of a growing refugee crisis reminiscent of past conflicts.
