Tensions along the Thailand–Cambodia border have entered a dangerous new phase after a Thai artillery strike hit a facility owned by a Chinese company in Cambodia’s O’Smach region. The attack triggered a rapid escalation, with Cambodia firing BM-21 and RM-70 rockets toward Thai positions and Thailand responding with new F-16 and Gripen airstrikes. br br Beijing has expressed sharp frustration over the strike, raising questions about China’s next move and whether it may increase military support to Cambodia. As both sides intensify operations, civilians are fleeing the border zone while international voices — including U.S. officials — call urgently for a halt to hostilities. br br The world now watches to see whether this fictional conflict can be contained… or whether rising retaliation and shifting alliances risk drawing Southeast Asia into a wider regional crisis. br br #ThailandCambodiaConflict #ChinaWarning #OsmachStrike #CambodiaRockets #ThaiAirstrikes #BorderTensions #ChinaCambodiaTies #FictionalCrisis #BM21 #RM70 #ThaiF16 #GripenStrikes #CambodiaDefense #AsiaSecurity #SoutheastAsiaTensions #ChinaResponse #BreakingNews #RegionalEscalation #CambodiaThailandClashes #BorderCrisisbr br ~ED.194~HT.
