Thailand on Monday conducted airstrikes on Cambodia, triggering a fresh wave of fighting among the Asian neighbours. This marked a potential collapse of the peace plan presented by US President Donald Trump just two months ago.
In light of this, both sides have been accusing each other of launching strikes along their disputed border on Monday morning, weeks after the clashes between the two nations ended after the ceasefire agreement was put into place. A Thai military official said that the airstrikes on Cambodian military positions were retaliation for an attack earlier on Monday that killed one Thai soldier and wounded two others, CNN reported.
“The target was at Cambodia’s arms supporting positions in the area of Chong An Ma Pass, because those targets had used artillery and mortar launchers to attack the Thai side at Anupong Base, resulting in one soldier killed and two soldiers injured.” Thai Maj. Gen. Winthai Suvaree said.
