The Thailand-Cambodia border conflict has intensified with both sides exchanging airstrikes and artillery fire, resulting in approximately two dozen casualties and displacing hundreds of thousands of people. The violence erupted after a Sunday skirmish derailed a U.S.-brokered ceasefire. Both nations accuse each other of territorial violations, with fighting threatening UNESCO World Heritage site Preah Vihear temple. The conflict stems from historical border disputes dating back to a contested 1907 map and a controversial 1962 International Court ruling.
