Thai army reports Cambodian border strike injures soldier, breaches truce.

Thailand’s army accused Cambodian forces of violating a recent truce by bombarding its Ubon Ratchathani province, resulting in injuries to a soldier. The decades-old territorial dispute, characterized by previous military clashes, revolves around colonial-era border demarcations and claims over temple ruins. Despite a truce agreement reached in December, which aimed to cease hostilities and facilitate cooperation on demining efforts, tensions remain high, with Thailand rejecting claims of seizing Cambodian territory. Cambodia has proposed a meeting to address the border issue, but Bangkok suggests that any discussions may need to wait until after upcoming elections. This ongoing conflict underscores the fragility of peace in the region and the complexities of territorial disputes in Southeast Asia.
