Thai and Cambodian troops clashed at their disputed border on Thursday, with both sides claiming the other fired first. At least two Thai soldiers were injured. Cambodia stated its troops acted in self-defense after Thai troops fired, while Thailand said Cambodian soldiers opened fire near the Ta Muen Thom temple. The incident follows heightened tensions, including a landmine explosion injuring a Thai soldier and reciprocal ambassador expulsions. Both countries have recently increased troop presence along the border, marking the worst bilateral relations in over a decade.
