ThaiCambodian Border Fighting Intensifies With Over 500,000 Displaced

President Trump prepares a call to rescue a fragile US-brokered ceasefire.

Overview

  • Cross-border clashes continued as both militaries traded blame for artillery, rocket, mortar and drone attacks, with Cambodia alleging Thai F-16 strikes near civilian areas.
  • Officials report more than 500,000 people displaced, including over 400,000 moved to safety in Thailand and more than 100,000 evacuated in Cambodia.
  • Thai authorities say around 700 schools are shut and a hospital was evacuated after rockets landed nearby.
  • Border crossings between the two countries are closed and Germany warns against travel to the frontier, while international flights remain unaffected.
  • The United Nations called for de-escalation as both sides accuse the other of violating the truce agreed in October.
