A long-standing border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has erupted into the deadliest conflict in over a decade, with both sides exchanging heavy artillery, airstrikes, and ground fire.
The fighting, centered around disputed territory and ancient temples, has killed at least 32 people and displaced more than 100,000 civilians. Both nations accuse each other of starting the hostilities, and diplomatic relations have sharply deteriorated, with martial law declared in Thai border regions. The United Nations and neighboring countries have called for restraint, but neither side appears willing to de-escalate as nationalistic rhetoric and political rivalries fuel the crisis.
The conflict also highlights broader regional tensions, with the US and China watching closely due to their respective alliances.
