Armed clashes erupted between Thai and Cambodian forces at their disputed border on Thursday, wounding two Thai soldiers and escalating diplomatic tensions that have already prompted ambassador recalls between the Southeast Asian neighbors.
What Happened: The confrontation occurred near the contested Ta Moan Thom temple, approximately 360 kilometers from Bangkok, following weeks of mounting border friction, reported Reuters. Thailand’s military reported that Cambodian forces deployed surveillance drones before advancing with heavy weapons, including rocket launchers, into the disputed territory.
