Tensions over a disputed border area have escalated into military clashes between the South Asian neighbours.
Thailand conducted an airstrike on a Cambodian military target on Thursday, according to a statement from the Thai army, amid renewed violence stemming from longstanding territorial disputes.
The flare-up follows months of mounting tensions over a stretch of territory claimed by both sides – a legacy of colonial-era French maps and unresolved demarcation. Skirmishes have erupted periodically since 2008, and the latest round of clashes began in late May.
Thai army deputy spokesperson Richa Suksuwanon said on Thursday morning that Thailand had employed “air power against military targets as planned.” Cambodia’s Defense Ministry said two bombs were dropped from a Thai aircraft on a road.
The clashes reportedly centered on the area surrounding the disputed 11th-century Prasat Ta Muen Thom temple. Thai officials said 11 civilians were killed by Cambodian artillery fire. Online video footage showed a petrol station ablaze, allegedly after being hit by a Cambodian rocket. Thai authorities ordered evacuations of villages in four border provinces.
Kamboja menyerang Thailand dengan MLRS BM-21 “Grad”, mengakibatkan jatuhnya korban di pihak sipil, karena roket-roket ini jatuh di sasaran non-militer seperti minimarket, bukan target militer. Nampaknya konflik di perbatasan kedua negara ini akan memanas lagi, pantau situasinya. https://t.co/bKDDPdAy75 pic.twitter.com/CJNpR7nuel

Cambodia’s Foreign Ministry accused Thailand of conducting “unprovoked, premeditated, and deliberate attacks,” and asserted the country was acting in self-defense. Phnom Penh condemned Bangkok’s actions and called for the withdrawal of Thai troops to “their side” of the frontier.
Thailand’s Foreign Ministry responded by blaming Cambodia for the escalation, pointing to recent landmine incidents that injured Thai soldiers. Officials said the mines were newly planted, not leftovers from previous conflicts in the region.
The ministry also reported that Cambodian heavy artillery targeted a Thai military base Thursday. Bangkok recalled its ambassador from Cambodia and said it expected Phnom Penh to take reciprocal diplomatic action.

Cant wait for the clash of the Lady-boys.
OK…so now we’re back to 1975 once again…minus the Plain of Jars in Laos that was left looking like a moon-scape or modern-day Gaza…!
Now-
Watch Air America suddenly be reformed along with the former Thai-based ‘Ravens’ show-up as ‘Private Contractors’ in order to get in on the act which is a page torn from the Zionist / Globalist ‘Play Book’…!
After all, there has to be second and third party exploitation from a generated conflict or disaster…!
Where is the U.N. ‘Court of Just-us’ and the determination of a jusdgement with regards to territorial boundaries?

It is a bit rich for Cambodia to claim it was acting in self defence by indiscriminately firing Grad rockets into populated areas of Thailand killing 11 civilians including an 8 year old boy.
