Thailand launched airstrikes against Cambodia on Monday as a new wave of fighting erupted between the southeast Asian neighbors, marking the potential collapse of a peace plan presided over by Donald Trump just two months ago.

Both sides accused the other of launching strikes along their disputed border Monday morning, after weeks of simmering tension and the earlier suspension of progress on the ceasefire agreement by Thailand.

    That seems like an awfully biased headline for what they’re reporting as essentially “he said she said”.

    A Thai military official said that the airstrikes were retaliation for an attack earlier on Monday that killed a Thai soldier.

    Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defense denied the RTAF allegations, calling it “false information” in a statement on X.

    I’m admittedly biased here but one of these statements feels awfully familiar

      The Cambodians have a history of claiming thai historical sites as Cambodian and generally claiming everything to be theirs. They have been sending civilians to the border to cause problems and try to cross illegally

      I believe Thailand here.
