Tensions are rising between Thailand and Cambodia after Phnom Penh confirmed that only 2 of the 20 Cambodian soldiers captured at the O'Smach border checkpoint have been released by Thai forces. One soldier has reportedly returned dead, leaving 18 still under Thai control. The Cambodian Ministry of Defense has called for the immediate return of all detained soldiers, invoking international humanitarian law and vowing to avoid another armed escalation.
“We will not allow war to break out again,” the Cambodian Defense Ministry insisted in a bold statement, but also issued a strong appeal to Bangkok to return not just the 18 remaining soldiers, but also others reportedly held under Thai custody. The clash that led to these captures has sparked fears of renewed tensions in the already sensitive border region. Diplomatic efforts are now being urged at the highest level to prevent a repeat of history.

As tensions escalate on Day 3 of the Thailand-Cambodia conflict, military analysts reveal a stark gap in capabilities. Thailand fields modern tanks, fighters like JAS-39 Gripens, and even a light carrier, while Cambodia relies on aging Cold War hardware with limited naval and air power. With China quietly backing Phnom Penh and Thailand’s forces enjoying a technological edge, the region watches closely—could this skirmish spiral into an all-out ASEAN war?

Paetongtarn Shinawatra Removal has shaken Thailand’s political landscape after the Constitutional Court ruled against her in an ethics case linked to a leaked Cambodia phone call. The Paetongtarn Shinawatra Removal marks the third ousting of a Shinawatra from the prime minister’s office, underlining Thailand’s recurring cycle of political turmoil. As the youngest-ever PM and daughter of Thaksin Shinawatra, her exit adds another chapter to the family’s controversial history. The Paetongtarn Shinawatra Removal highlights the tensions between democratic forces, the military, and the courts in shaping Thailand’s future.
