Thailand has fiercely rejected Cambodiaās accusation that its military bombed the Preah Vihear Templeāa UNESCO World Heritage siteāamid intensifying border clashes. Bangkok calls Phnom Penhās claims a ādistortion of factsā and āpolitically motivated,ā denying any damage to cultural or civilian zones. Cambodia alleges air and artillery strikes caused major destruction, violating international law. The 11th-century temple, long contested, is now a flashpoint fueling nationalist tensions as both sides trade blame and the risk of escalation continues to mount.

Vietnam Boat Accident: A deadly tourist tragedy has struck Vietnamās famed Ha Long Bay as a boat carrying 48 passengers, including over 20 children, capsized during a sudden and violent thunderstorm.

The boat had departed during an active weather convergence zone, worsened by three consecutive days of scorching heat, creating a deadly cocktail of atmospheric instability.
Ten survivors were rescued, including a 14-year-old boy trapped in the hull for four hours. Authorities are now investigating potential violations as the nation mourns the loss. Vietnamās Prime Minister has extended condolences, while rescue teams continue to search the wreckage. The area, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been struck by previous marine disasters, raising renewed questions about maritime safety protocols amid worsening climate conditions. Storm Wipha is now looming, threatening further chaos.
