Thailand and Cambodia forces clash along border, with Thai jets bombing purported military sites

July 24, 2025 / 7:01 PM EDT / CBS/AP

Bangkok — Thai and Cambodian soldiers clashed in several areas along the countries' shared border on Thursday in a major escalation of a conflict that has left at least 12 people dead in Thailand, all but one of them civilians, according to the Thai health ministry. The two sides fired small arms, artillery and rockets, and Thailand also called in airstrikes.

Thai villagers could be seen on video fleeing their homes to seek shelter as the clashes began in the morning.

Fighting was ongoing in at least six areas along the border, Thai Defense Ministry spokesperson Surasant Kongsiri said. The trigger for the clashes was a mine explosion along the border on Wednesday that wounded five Thai soldiers and led Bangkok to withdraw its ambassador to Cambodia and expel Cambodia's.

Thailand's foreign ministry said all land border crossings with Cambodia were sealed and communities near the frontier had been evacuated. It urged all Thai nationals to leave Cambodia.

The Southeast Asian neighbors have longstanding border disputes that periodically flare along their 500-mile frontier and usually result in brief confrontations that sometimes involve exchanges of gunfire. But relations have deteriorated sharply since a confrontation in May that killed a Cambodian soldier, and Thursday's clashes were far bigger in scale and intensity than usual.

The U.S. Embassy in Thailand noted reports "of fighting, including rocket and artillery fire, between Cambodian and Thai forces along the border  .  .  .

China says ‘deeply concerned’ over deadly Cambodia-Thailand border clashes

Jul 24, 2025, 04:30 PM  |  Updated Jul 25, 2025, 06:14 AM

BEIJING - China said on July 24 it was “deeply concerned” over deadly clashes between Cambodia and Thailand, which mark a dramatic escalation of a long-running border row between the two neighbours.

“We are deeply concerned over the current developments (and) hope both sides can properly resolve issues through dialogue and consultations,” foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said.

“Good-neighbourliness and properly handling differences are in line with the fundamental and long-term interests of both sides,” he said.

The neighbours are locked in a bitter spat over an area known as the Emerald Triangle, where the borders of both countries and Laos meet, and which is home to several ancient temples.

The squabble has dragged on for decades, flaring into bloody military clashes more than 15 years ago and again in May, when a Cambodian soldier was killed in a firefight.

The conflict blazed up on July 24, with Cambodia firing rockets and artillery shells into Thailand and the Thai military scrambling F-16 jets to carry out air strikes.  .  .

⚠️ The Thai-Cambodian border sector is reporting heightened hostilities.

Ground forces, including infantry, armored units, and artillery, are engaged in active combat operations across the entire frontier, as per Thai media.

Situation remains volatile.

The Thai police’s Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) has issued a stern warning: anyone who attacks Cambodians living in Thailand will face legal action and prosecution.

🧵A detailed timeline on escalations in the lead-up to yesterday's clashes between Thailand and Cambodia.
Much of the escalation seems to stem from Cambodia, with their troops fortifying many sectors before the May 28 clashes and surging strategic assets immediately after.

2025-02-13. The immediate tensions seem to originate from an incident on February 13, when a group of Cambodian soldiers escorted civilians to visit an ancient temple. The group reportedly sang the Cambodian national anthem and was later stopped by Thai security officials.

What a stupid reason to start a war.

That's a great X/Twitter site!  Keep the posts coming!  If this escalates further perhaps it should have its own daily live thread?

It's all about respect.  You can go to jail for disrespecting the Thai monarchy.  Keep in mind that this is a country that has never been colonized, unlike its neighbors (Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, etc.)

True, and Southeast Asia is just as ancient as India and China, formerly comprised of a host of competing peoples and kingdoms over time.  And the Thais and Khmers have no love for each other either based on that shared history, so there's a racial/ethnic component in the hostilities too.

T-54s v. M-60s.  This should be interesting.   Haven't seen these tanks go at each other since the '67 war.

JUST IN: Thailand says it has recaptured 90% of Phu Ma Kua on the Ubon Ratchathani border and raised the Thai flag. The Second Army Area warns Cambodia is preparing a counterattack with heavy use of mortars and artillery.

Whoever controls Phu Ma Kua can monitor movements along a wide portion of the border and establish forward artillery positions.

The area is also used to anchor defensive lines for operations in eastern Si Sa Ket and Ubon Ratchathani provinces.
