The neighbors have accused each other of violating a US-brokered ceasefire

Thailand carried out airstrikes in Cambodia on Monday, as the two Southeast Asian neighbors accused each other of violating a US-brokered ceasefire.

In July, the countries saw a border dispute dating back over half a century escalate into violence. US President Donald Trump, however, was able to mediate a truce after five days of fighting.

The Royal Thai Army has said new clashes first erupted on Sunday and accused Cambodian troops of opening fire at Thai soldiers in eastern Ubon Ratchathani province. One Thai soldier was killed and four others were wounded, after which additional Thai soldiers were attacked with artillery and drones at Anupong Base, the army said.

Royal Thai Air Force spokesman Air Marshal Jackkrit Thammavichai announced later on Monday that F-16 fighter jets were deployed to “reduce Cambodia’s military capabilities to the minimum level necessary to safeguard national security and protect civilians.”
