The Indian Embassy in Thailand released a travel advisory Friday warning tourists about border violence with Cambodia. Officials urged travelers to monitor updates from Thai authorities and the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Seven provinces face travel restrictions due to ongoing military confrontations.
Border clashes killed fourteen Thai citizens and wounded forty-six others according to health ministry reports. Casualties included thirteen civilians and one soldier from recent fighting. Cambodia has not disclosed its casualty figures from the violence.
Wednesday's landmine explosion injured five Thai soldiers and triggered diplomatic expulsions between both nations. Thai officials blame Cambodia for placing new Russian mines while Cambodian authorities deny these claims. Fighting erupted across six border areas Thursday morning near ancient temples.
Thai F-16 jets launched airstrikes against Cambodian positions in response to rocket attacks. Each government accuses the other of violating international law. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for restraint and diplomatic dialogue to resolve the crisis.
