Thailand Launches Airstrikes on Cambodian Positions After Border Clashes

The rare cross-border strikes put the Trump-backed October ceasefire at risk.

Overview

  • Thailand says Cambodian forces fired first into Thai territory, while Phnom Penh accuses Bangkok of launching dawn attacks.
  • The Thai army reports at least one soldier killed and multiple wounded, and it is evacuating more than 385,000 residents with over 35,000 in shelters.
  • Cambodian officials report civilian casualties and injuries, with the information minister citing at least four deaths near Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey.
  • Thai forces say they targeted artillery and support sites and allege BM-21 rockets were fired toward Thai civilian areas, which Cambodia denies while saying it did not retaliate.
  • Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim calls for restraint and offers support for de‑escalation as the ASEAN‑linked truce agreed in July and expanded in October deteriorates.
