Thailand intensified its military actions against Cambodia, conducting airstrikes targeting warehouses reportedly storing rockets used by the Cambodian army in ongoing border conflicts. The skirmishes, which began on December 8 following an earlier incident that injured Thai soldiers, have resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with hundreds of thousands displaced. Thailand claims it is acting in self-defense, while Cambodia accuses it of indiscriminate bombing, including civilian areas. Efforts for a ceasefire, previously facilitated by U.S. interventions, face challenges as both nations continue to assert their territorial claims, underscoring the regional instability and the complexities of diplomatic resolutions involving external powers like Malaysia and China.
