Fighting erupted between Thailand and Cambodia on Monday, marked by airstrikes from Thailand, potentially jeopardizing a peace plan mediated by the US just two months prior. Thailand accused Cambodia of initiating the conflict, citing the mobilization of heavy weaponry and an attack that resulted in a soldier’s death, leading to retaliatory strikes targeting military infrastructure. Cambodia denied the accusations and accused Thailand of initiating the attacks while citing the desire to respect prior agreements. Civilians were evacuated from Thai border towns while fighting continued over their disputed border, with an initial ceasefire agreed upon in July after mediation by then-President Trump.
