Thailand F-16 jet bombs Cambodian targets as border clash escalates

A Thai F-16 fighter jet bombed targets in Cambodia amid escalating border tensions that have reportedly killed two civilians. The Thai army confirmed that one of its F-16s struck a military target after both nations accused each other of starting the conflict. Thailand has closed its border with Cambodia, and its foreign ministry claimed Cambodian troops fired heavy artillery at a Thai military base and civilian areas, resulting in casualties.

Cambodia condemned the airstrikes as "reckless and brutal military aggression" and called for a withdrawal of Thai forces. The skirmishes began near the disputed Ta Moan Thom temple, with both sides claiming they acted in self-defense. The situation remains tense, with Thailand affirming it will strengthen its defense measures if attacks continue.
