"Thailand's military said it was using aircraft to strike military targets in several areas, after a Thai soldier was killed and four others wounded in clashes along the countries' tense border. A second Thai soldier was later declared to have died. Both sides have blamed one another for the latest escalation, which comes more than a month after Trump oversaw the signing of a ceasefire agreement."
"Cambodia's defence ministry spokesperson Maly Socheata said Thai forces launched an attack on Cambodian troops at about 5am on Monday morning, adding that Cambodia had not retaliated. Cambodia's former prime minister Hun Sen, who remains hugely influential and is the father of the current leader, Hun Manet, urged his country's forces to exercise restraint, saying Thailand was trying to pull us into retaliation. The red line for responding has already been set."
Thailand launched airstrikes along its disputed border with Cambodia after clashes that killed at least two Thai soldiers and wounded others. The Thai military said aircraft struck military targets in several areas following an attack that killed one soldier and wounded four. Both countries accused each other of breaching a ceasefire brokered by Donald Trump. Cambodia's defence ministry said Thai forces attacked Cambodian troops at about 5am and that Cambodia did not retaliate. Former Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen urged restraint and warned commanders against retaliation. In July fighting killed at least 48 people and displaced about 300,000; Thailand evacuated border villages with roughly 35,000 registered at shelters.
