Thailand and Cambodia Exchange Artillery Fire and Airstrikes in Decade's Most Severe Border Clash

THAILAND, JUL 25 – The clashes follow landmine injuries to Thai soldiers and involve airstrikes, artillery, and rocket fire, killing at least nine Thai civilians and injuring 14, officials said.

  • On July 24–25, 2025, Thai and Cambodian forces exchanged artillery fire and airstrikes along their disputed border near the Preah Vihear temple area.
  • The clashes escalated amid long-standing border disputes dating back decades, including a 1962 International Court of Justice ruling that awarded the temple area to Cambodia.
  • Cambodia deployed heavy artillery and rocket systems while Thailand launched airstrikes and accused Cambodia of attacking military and civilian sites; both sides blamed each other for initiating the violence.
  • At least nine civilians were killed, five Thai soldiers were wounded by a land mine blast, and both nations downgraded diplomatic relations, with ambassadors withdrawn and border crossings sealed.
  • The conflict increased regional tensions amid Thailand’s political crisis and fragile stability, indicating lasting implications for peace and the need for continued international observation.
