Heavy fighting erupted on July 24, 2025, along the disputed Thailand–Cambodia frontier near the Ta Muen Thom temple. Cambodia initiated artillery, rocket, and drone strikes against Thai bases, killing nine to twelve civilians (including children) and injuring many . Thailand responded by deploying six F‑16 jets—one bombed a Cambodian military target—then recalled them safely . Thailand also evacuated around 40,000 border residents, closed crossings, and expelled diplomats amid diplomatic collapse . Cambodia accused Thailand of “unlawful, irresponsible” aggression and sought a UN Security Council session. (PC: Hindustan Times)
