Breaking News: Deadly Clashes Erupt on Thailand-Cambodia Border, Thousands Flee Amid Air Strikes At least five people have been killed in fresh clashes between Thailand and Cambodia on Monday, with thousands of residents fleeing the border area. The violence erupted in Thailand's Ubon Ratchathani Province and Cambodia's C Province. Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul says his country will use necessary means to preserve its sovereignty, while Cambodia's former leader Hun Sen accused Thai "invaders" of provoking retaliation. The Thai army claims it responded to Cambodian fire, launching air strikes along the disputed border. Tensions between the two neighbours have escalated since May, resulting in over 40 deaths, import bans, and travel restrictions. The latest violence marks the most serious confrontation between Thailand and Cambodia since they agreed to a ceasefire in July. The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of starting the violence. The Thai army continues to respond to Cambodian fire, while Phnom Penh's defence ministry claims it was the Thai forces that attacked first. This is a developing story.
