This one caught me by surprise. From the BBC,
Twelve killed in Thailand-Cambodia military clashes on disputed border.
The Twitter (X) account Visegrad 24 was reporting on pitched battles involving tanks, artillery, and fighter jets.
Some history via the BBC,
The dispute dates back to more than a hundred years ago, when the borders of the two nations were drawn after the French occupation of Cambodia.
Things officially became hostile in 2008, when Cambodia tried to register an 11th Century temple located in the disputed area as a Unesco World Heritage Site – a move that was met with heated protest from Thailand.
There were sporadic clashes over the years which saw soldiers and civilians killed on both sides.
The BBC includes a map with their story showing that the disputed territory is not a small area. I’m not aware that America has a dog in this fight, but I personally think that the Cambodian flag is pretty cool.
