Thai Fighter Jets Hit Cambodian Military Posts as Clash Worsens
Bloomberg3 days
Cambodia's aggressive actions forced Thailand to defend its sovereignty after Cambodian troops deployed drones and heavy weapons near disputed temples, then fired rockets into civilian areas, killing innocent people, including children. Thailand's measured military response with F-16 strikes targeted only military positions, while Cambodia recklessly shelled villages.
Thailand violated territorial integrity by sending troops into Cambodian territory and firing first, forcing Cambodia to respond in self-defense against unprovoked aggression. Thai soldiers triggered decades-old landmines by deviating from agreed patrol routes, yet Thailand blamed Cambodia for newly planted mines. This is a blatant and serious violation of international law.
