A long-standing border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has erupted into the deadliest violence in over a decade, with both sides exchanging heavy fire, including the use of Thai F-16 fighter jets and Cambodian rocket attacks. At least 12 people, mostly civilians, have been killed, and thousands have fled the conflict zone. The clashes center around disputed territory near ancient temples, with both nations blaming each other for initiating the violence. Diplomatic relations have rapidly deteriorated, with ambassadors recalled, border crossings closed, and travel advisories issued. The escalation marks a significant and dangerous turning point in a century-old rivalry, raising fears of a broader conflict in Southeast Asia.
