Thai fighter jets bombed Cambodian military targets, escalating border tensions after armed clashes killed at least 11 civilians. The violence followed a landmine explosion injuring a Thai soldier. Thailand closed border crossings and accused Cambodia of aggression, while Cambodia condemned the attacks as a violation of international law and called for a UN Security Council meeting. The clashes involved both small arms and heavy weaponry, resulting in civilian casualties and widespread damage. This is a significant escalation in the long-standing border dispute between the two countries.
