Both countries accused each other of violating the ceasefire agreement.

Thailand's army has launched airstrikes along its disputed border with Cambodia after the two countries accused each other of violating a ceasefire agreement brokered by US President Donald Trump.

This was reported by Reuters.

The Thai army said the fresh clashes took place in the eastern province of Ubon Ratchathani. It said Cambodian shelling killed one Thai military officer and wounded four others.

"The Thai side has started using aircraft to strike military targets in several areas," the statement said.

The Cambodian Defense Ministry said the Thai army had struck its units in two areas after days of provocations. The ministry said Cambodian troops did not return fire.

On July 24, 2025, armed clashes resumed between Thai and Cambodian forces along the disputed stretch of the border after a relative lull since 2011.

Thailand deployed F-16 fighter jets against Cambodian military installations along the disputed border, leading to a sharp escalation of tensions.

The attack came a day after a Thai soldier exploded on a landmine and lost a leg. The clashes left at least 36 people dead and more than 150,000 civilians displaced from their homes on both sides of the 800-kilometer border.

The situation soon escalated sharply, with heavy shelling and airstrikes reported, and both sides accusing each other of attacking civilian areas.

On July 25, Thailand declared martial law in eight border areas.

On July 28, Thailand and Cambodia agreed to end hostilities in the border area. On July 29, the agreement went into effect.

On November 11, Thailand said it was suspending an expanded "peace agreement" with Cambodia over the disputed border.

According to a government spokesman, Thailand made the announcement after its soldiers were injured in a mine explosion near the Cambodian border in Sisaket province.
