Cambodia Escalates Border Tensions with Thailand Over Demarcation Delays
Cambodia formally urges Thailand to resume border demarcation talks, accusing Thai forces of seizing village land and erecting barriers, heightening cross-border tensions.
Cambodia has escalated its dispute with Thailand by sending a diplomatic note demanding immediate resumption of long-delayed border demarcation talks, warning that postponements risk renewed conflict. Officials accuse Thai forces of installing barbed wire and shipping containers that block Cambodian villagers from returning to their homes near the disputed frontier. Cambodia has also rejected claims that its soldiers fired a grenade launcher round near a Thai patrol base, calling the allegations a provocation. The situation recalls the 2025 clashes that displaced thousands and led to a fragile ceasefire, raising fears of renewed hostilities if demarcation remains stalled.
