Key events for today

1. The conflict between Thailand and Cambodia, escalating in July 2025, stems from a historical border dispute rooted in a 1907 French colonial map, particularly over areas like the Preah Vihear and Prasat Ta Muen Thom temples, compounded by recent violent incidents, including a landmine explosion injuring Thai soldiers and clashes killing at least 16 people, mostly Thai civilians, and displacing over 138,000. Nationalist rhetoric, fueled by domestic politics—such as Thailand’s suspension of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra over a leaked call with Cambodia’s Hun Sen and Cambodia’s ban on Thai media and imports—has intensified the situation, alongside economic tensions and mutual accusations of aggression. Both nations have engaged in tit-for-tat actions, with Thailand launching airstrikes and Cambodia calling for UN intervention, while Thailand insists on bilateral talks, rejecting ASEAN mediation, making de-escalation difficult amid ongoing clashes reported on July 25, 2025.
