Tensions between Cambodia and Thailand have sharply escalated following a deadly border clash. The situation deteriorated after a Cambodian soldier was killed in a disputed area, prompting a series of retaliatory actions by both countries. Recently, five Thai soldiers were injured by a landmine, leading Thailand to close border crossings and expel Cambodia's ambassador. In response, Cambodia downgraded diplomatic ties, expelled the Thai ambassador, and withdrew its embassy staff, raising concerns about further conflict.
