"Thai F-16 fighter jets dropped two bombs near camps for displaced people in the Chong Kal district of the northwestern border province of Oddar Meanchey and the Srei Snam district in Siem Reap province just south of Oddar Meanchey, Cambodia's Ministries of National Defence and Information said. Srei Snam, where Cambodian officials said a bridge was targeted, is about an 80km (50-mile) drive from Angkor Wat, a sprawling temple that is Cambodia's national symbol and chief tourist draw."
"Fighting between the neighbours, fuelled by longstanding rival claims to territory along their shared border, was reignited by a skirmish on December 7. The incident wounded two Thai soldiers and derailed a ceasefire pushed by United States President Donald Trump that ended five days of combat in July. More than two dozen people along the border have been killed in the latest outbreak of fighting and more than half a million displaced, officials said."
