Military disputes: why fighting broke out again between Thailand and Cambodia

Bangkok is already deploying armored personnel carriers to the border.

Khaosod newspaper reported on December 8 that the Cambodian military opened fire on the Anupong military base in Thailand, killing one Thai soldier and injuring two others. The Thai army has called on residents of the border areas of four provinces located along the border with Cambodia to evacuate to shelters amid the threat of escalating clashes.

On the same day, the consular department of the Russian diplomatic mission noted that the Russian Embassy in Bangkok had not received information about injured Russian citizens in connection with the renewed armed conflict on the Thai-Cambodian border.

On November 10, Thai Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anuthin Chanvirakun announced the suspension of the peace agreement with Cambodia, after two Thai soldiers were injured due to a mine explosion on the border. As he noted, the incident shows that hostility at the border has not decreased and further steps under the agreement are impossible until the circumstances are clarified.
