Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai has warned that escalating border clashes with Cambodia could lead to war. The conflict, now in its second day, has displaced over 130,000 people and claimed at least 15 lives. Thailand has instructed its military to act immediately if necessary, while Cambodia has requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting. Both nations continue to exchange deadly strikes, with artillery and airstrikes reported near disputed areas including ancient temples. Despite diplomatic efforts, tensions remain high. Thailand insists the situation is still limited to clashes, but warns of further escalation. The international community has expressed concern, urging restraint and dialogue to prevent a full-blown regional crisis. (PC: China Daily & Nikkei Asia)
