A Cambodian rocket hit a Thai gas station, killing six civilians and injuring 10. Thailand launched F-16 fighter jets in a swift retaliatory strike, targeting Cambodian military positions following the deadly rocket attack.
Cambodia denounced the airstrikes, accusing Thailand of breaching its national sovereignty and territorial rights.
Border tensions rose after landmine injuries to Thai soldiers. Thailand expelled Cambodia’s envoy. Most casualties are civilians, with Thai provinces Si Sa Ket and Surin affected.
Thai authorities denounced the hospital shelling as a potential violation of international humanitarian law, suggesting it could constitute a war crime.
Viral videos show smoke and panic. With 14 injured and no peace in sight, fears of wider conflict grow.
