Thailand cuts Laos fuel route as Cambodia border conflict deepens
Thailand halted fuel shipments through Laos after intelligence showed redirection to Cambodian troops amid escalating clashes displacing over 500,000 people, officials said.
- On Dec 15, Thailand's military restricted fuel shipments through a border checkpoint with Laos after intelligence indicated diversion to Cambodia, Rear Admiral Surasant Kongsiri said.
- Fighting along the 817 km land border continues at least nine locations, displacing over half a million people and killing at least 38 in recent days.

- Navy official said the military is considering limiting movement of Thai vessels into `high-risk areas` in Cambodian waters, while a special meeting of Southeast Asian foreign ministers was postponed to Dec 22.
