Overview
- Cambodian officials say about 28 civilians, including monks, were injured when Thai security forces used tear gas, rubber bullets and long‑range acoustic devices near the contested Ban Nong Ya Kaew/Prey Chan settlement.
- Thailand’s army says roughly 200 protesters crossed to dismantle barbed wire and threw rocks and used slingshots, prompting crowd‑control measures and leaving five Thai soldiers injured.
- Prime Minister Hun Manet told the UN that Thai forces have barred more than 20 families from their homes and fields and warned of planned removals at additional sites along the frontier.
- Bangkok maintains the actions occurred on Thai territory against residents it describes as illegal occupants and says authorities acted within internationally accepted crowd‑control norms.
- The flare‑up tests a Malaysia‑brokered ceasefire that halted July’s fighting, which killed at least 43–48 people and displaced over 260,000, as both sides trade allegations over new landmines and outside partners press for de‑escalation and an ASEAN observer mission.
