Escalating Tensions: Thailand-Cambodia Border Conflict Intensifies

Fresh clashes have erupted between Thailand and Cambodia amid their ongoing border dispute, resulting in at least one civilian death. Both nations have accused each other of initiating the conflict, which has led to airstrikes and injuries.

Diplomatic ties have further deteriorated after Cambodia downgraded relations, recalling its staff from Bangkok. The situation remains tense, fueled by historical grievances surrounding contested territories.

Previous agreements and international court rulings on disputed sites like the Preah Vihear temple have failed to alleviate tensions, and recent incidents, including land mine explosions, have escalated nationalist sentiments.
