  • Both Thai and Cambodian forces have reinforced positions along the disputed 800-kilometer frontier and traded allegations of ceasefire breaches.
  • July 24–28 clashes killed at least 43 people on both sides and displaced more than 330,000 civilians into temporary camps.
  • International fact-checking groups have debunked viral videos from Myanmar and Ukraine that were falsely linked to the border conflict.
  • Displaced families in Ubon Ratchathani and Oddar Meanchey are sheltering in overcrowded camps with limited aid and no clear timeline for return.
