Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia escalated on Thursday as both nations reported a fresh military clash along their contested border.
According to official statements from the Thai Army and Cambodia’s Defence Ministry, the confrontation occurred near Prasat Ta Muen Thom, a historic Khmer temple situated in Thailand’s Surin province but claimed by Cambodia.
This marks a renewed flare-up in the longstanding territorial dispute, with both sides accusing the other of provocation. So far, no confirmed reports of casualties have been released.
The border region, historically sensitive due to its cultural and strategic importance, has witnessed multiple stand-offs over the years, often disrupting regional peace and drawing international concern.
Further details are awaited as both governments monitor the situation.
