According to the Army of Thailand, six F-16 fighters were launched, one of which made a point blow to military target in Cambodia. The Cambodian Foreign Ministry called Thailand’s actions “reckless and cruel military aggression.”
Literally: “These are the most severe fighting between the two countries in the last 13 years.

Thailand and Cambodia have been arguing for jurisdiction for decades in various unreensed areas of the 817 kilometer border, in particular, around Hindu temples and Mohn Tom and prea Vichear. In 1962, the International Court of Justice passed the Vichear Cambodia, but the tension increased again in 2008, when Cambodia tried to include the temple in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
In June, Cambodia filed a lawsuit with the International Court to resolve the dispute, but Thailand stated that he did not recognize the jurisdiction of the court and insists on a bilateral approach.
