Thailand Launches Airstrikes on Cambodia After Deadly Border Incident

Thai leaders call the operation retaliation for a border attack Cambodia denies.

Overview

  • The Royal Thai Army said the raids began around 5 a.m. Monday local time and targeted Cambodian military infrastructure.
  • Thailand reported one soldier killed and at least eight wounded in the border incident it cites as the trigger for the strikes.
  • Cambodia rejected claims that it carried out any attack connected to the Thai response.
  • Local authorities report large-scale displacement of civilians on both sides of the affected border area.
  • The escalation follows Thailand’s move a month ago to suspend U.S.-supervised peace accords, including deals that halted July’s week-long fighting that left about 30 dead and those signed during President Trump’s October visit.
