Thailand Launches Air Strikes as Cambodia Border Conflict Escalates

A long-simmering border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia erupted into sudden violence on July 24th, prompting Thai F-16 fighter jets to launch retaliatory sorties into Cambodian territory. The escalation follows an initial attack where Cambodian artillery shelled a Thai military base.

Thai authorities have confirmed at least 11 Thai civilians killed in the conflict and have ordered the urgent evacuation of approximately 40,000 residents from border areas to ensure their safety. There is currently no official word regarding casualties or damage on the Cambodian side. The unexpected use of heavy weaponry marks a significant and alarming escalation in the historically tense relationship between the two nations.
