00:00The calm didn't last long. Early this morning, the Thailand-Cambodia border region turned into a war zone as the Royal Thai Army launched airstrikes on disputed border zones, marking a sharp collapse of the truce that just months ago seemed like the start of peace.
00:15The strike comes after a deadly clash. One Thai soldier was killed and four wounded when, according to Thai officials, Cambodian forces allegedly fired first. Cambodia counters this, claiming Thailand initiated the Dawn air raids and that its forces did not fire back.
00:30The bigger picture? The fragile peace deal signed in October under Trump's mediation has shattered. The fighting threatens to reignite a much deeper century-old border conflict rooted in territorial disputes.
00:40Civilians from volatile zones are being evacuated. Over 385,000 people across four border districts are fleeing.
00:49International diplomats are calling for calm, but trust is shattered and the region now faces a dangerous slide toward wider instability.
00:58Stay alert, because what happens next along this border could ripple across Southeast Asia and shift regional alliances fast.
