Thailand reports first civilian deaths in renewed border conflict with Cambodia
Three Thai civilians and nine soldiers died amid renewed artillery, rocket, and drone attacks along the disputed border near the Preah Vihear temple, the Thai military reported.
- On Thursday, Thailand's military said three Thai civilians were killed as heavy combat continued along the Thailand-Cambodia border, marking Thailand's first civilian fatalities since fighting resumed.
- The dispute stems from a colonial-era map and an International Court of Justice ruling over Preah Vihear, while a skirmish on Sunday wounded two Thai soldiers and derailed a U.S.-pushed ceasefire.
- The Thai army's northeastern command said Cambodian forces fired 79 BM-21 salvos with 3,160 rockets, used artillery 122 times, and launched 63 attacks with bomb-dropping drones on Wednesday.
- Hundreds of thousands of displaced people have been evacuated from border areas in both countries, homes, schools and temples were reported damaged, and UNESCO expressed strong concern over the Preah Vihear World Heritage site on Wednesday.
- U.S. President Donald Trump said he expects to speak by phone on Thursday with the two leaders to urge a return to a ceasefire, while Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim welcomed ongoing negotiations after talks on Tuesday.
