Thai and Cambodian troops clash at disputed border

Thai and Cambodian troops have clashed at a disputed border area, leaving at least two Thai soldiers injured. Both sides have accused the other of initiating the conflict. The incident occurred in an area near the ancient Preah Vihear temple, which has been a source of contention between the two countries for years. Both Thailand and Cambodia claim sovereignty over the region, and the border demarcation in this area remains unclear. According to reports, the clashes began when Thai and Cambodian troops exchanged fire in the disputed zone. Both countries have mobilized additional troops to the area and are currently in discussions to de-escalate the situation. The conflict highlights the ongoing territorial disputes between Thailand and Cambodia, which have occasionally led to armed confrontations in the past. The two countries have been working to resolve the border issues through diplomatic channels, but the lack of a definitive settlement continues to be a source of tension in the region.
