    Cambodia Accuses Thailand of Broadcasting "Ghost-Like Sounds" in Alleged Psychological Warfare Along Disputed Border

    Cambodia has accused Thailand of psychological warfare through broadcasting disturbing sounds along their disputed border, despite a recent ceasefire agreement. Former Prime Minister Hun Sen shared a letter from Cambodia's human rights commission to the UN, detailing how high-pitched noises resembling wailing children and other unsettling sounds have disrupted local communities since October 10, causing anxiety and discomfort among residents. The allegations come months after both nations agreed to end hostilities following deadly clashes that displaced over 200,000 people.
