Thailand Cambodia Border Clash News

Donald Trump, in a series of posts on his Truth Social handle, said that he spoke with the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Manet, and the acting PM of Thailand, Phumtham Wechayachai. The two nations have frequently clashed over their shared land border, a dispute that reportedly remains unresolved.

Villagers, including children and the elderly, have been seen escaping in the middle of the night, carrying their belongings in plastic bags, as military shelling continues on both sides. This comes after a border clash between Thailand and Cambodia escalated. 

A fresh conflict is unfolding between Thailand and Cambodia, raising concerns of another regional war. What triggered this sudden escalation? Is it a border issue, politics, or something deeper?

Fourteen Thai people were killed and 46 others injured in military clashes near the Thailand-Cambodia border, the deputy spokesperson of the Ministry of Public Health informed. Amid the ongoing tensions the Indian Embassy in Thailand issued a travel advisory on Friday. 

 Fourteen Thai nationals were killed and 46 others injured during military clashes near the Thailand-Cambodia border, according to the deputy spokesperson for Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health.

The Thai army confirmed it had launched airstrikes on two Cambodian military bases, marking a significant escalation in hostilities. Cambodia and Thailand each accused the other of initiating the violence, while diplomatic ties between the neighbours have plunged to their lowest point in years.

The Thai military claims Cambodian troops initiated the violence, deploying drones and heavy weapons. Cambodia denies the accusations, blaming Thailand for the first assault.
