Overview

  • Fatalities have risen to 33 after three days of cross-border shelling, airstrikes and rocket fire near temples including Preah Vihear and Ta Muen Thom.
  • Thailand’s F-16 fighters destroyed two Cambodian support units while Cambodian forces launched heavy rockets into civilian areas.
  • Martial law has been declared in eight Thai border districts as more than 138,000 residents flee escalating hostilities.
  • Both governments expelled each other’s ambassadors and have formally requested intervention from ASEAN and the UN Security Council.
  • The dispute traces back to colonial-era treaties over Khmer temples and is intensified by political pressures in Bangkok and Phnom Penh.
