Cambodia has accused Thailand of intensifying strikes along their disputed border even as defence officials from both nations continued multi-day peace negotiations aimed at ending deadly clashes. Phnom Penh claims Thai F-16 jets dropped bombs near Chok Chey village in Banteay Meanchey province, escalating violence that has reignited a long-running territorial dispute. Bangkok, meanwhile, says Cambodian forces launched heavy attacks into Thai territory, damaging homes and shelling border areas. The conflict has displaced around a million people and shattered a previous truce, prompting international calls for a ceasefire and fresh diplomatic efforts. (PC: The Guardian)
