Thailand launched air strikes along its border with Cambodia after clashes killed one Thai soldier and injured four, threatening a delicate US-brokered peace accord.
At least one Thai soldier has been killed and four wounded in fresh clashes that broke out around two areas in the easternmost province of Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand’s military said in a statement.
“The Thai side has now begun using aircraft to strike military targets in several areas,” it said.
The Thai military said Cambodian forces opened fire across multiple border locations, using small arms, machine guns, mortar and artillery.
It said its response, which included ground fire and air operations, was carried out under international rules to protect national sovereignty, adding the actions were aimed at preventing further attacks while avoiding a broader escalation.
Cambodia’s Defence Ministry said in a statement that the Thai military launched dawn attacks on its forces at two locations, following days of provocative actions, but added that Cambodian troops had not retaliated.
The strikes follow back-and-forth accusations over the weekend of firing across the border, with both sides accusing the other of firing first.
