Overview

  • Thailand’s air force said strikes targeted weapons depots, command centers and logistics nodes after Thai officials reported pre-dawn fire from Cambodian positions and one Thai soldier killed.
  • Cambodia rejected Thailand’s account, called Bangkok’s claims false, described the strikes as a grave violation and said it has asked ASEAN monitors to review the incidents.
  • Thai authorities reported more than 35,000 residents in shelters, evacuation orders across multiple border districts and the closure of 641 schools, with additional injuries reported on both sides.
  • Fighting expanded in intensity with Thai F-16s hitting at least three targets and reports of Cambodian rocket artillery fire; a Thai drone was reportedly downed and artillery was reported near the Preah Vihear area.
  • The renewed clashes threaten the October cease-fire witnessed by President Donald Trump, while Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim urged maximum restraint and offered support to prevent further escalation.
