Thailand on Sunday declared a **curfew in five districts of its southeastern Trat province after armed clashes with Cambodia spread to coastal border areas, marking a significant escalation in a weeks-long conflict. The curfew, aimed at maintaining public order and security near the Koh Kong border zone, follows continued exchanges of heavy-weapons fire despite claims of a ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump. Thai forces destroyed a Cambodian bridge used for military logistics, while Cambodia accused Thailand of striking civilian infrastructure. The move comes amid displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians and failed diplomatic efforts as both sides continue hostilities along the longstanding disputed border. (PC: Reuters)
