Tensions have escalated along the Cambodia–Thailand border today as Cambodian forces reportedly launched defensive fire in response to what officials claim was an armed incursion by Thai troops.
According to sources within the Cambodian Ministry of Defense, the incident occurred early this morning near [insert real border location, e.g., “the Preah Vihear region”], where Thai military activity was detected.
Cambodian troops responded with targeted fire, aimed at repelling what they described as a violation of national sovereignty.
No casualties have been officially reported, and both sides are said to be monitoring the situation closely.
The Cambodian government has called for immediate diplomatic talks to avoid further escalation, while Thai officials have not yet issued a formal statement.
