Thailand recently took military action using F-16 fighter jets on disputed military bases in Cambodia. The step was taken when the Thai area was attacked with heavy firing and rocket. Thai Army Deputy Spokesperson Richa Suxuvanan clearly stated that we launched aircraft at military bases as per the plan. During this period, one of the six F-16 aircraft destroyed a military hideout in the Cambodian region. At the same time, Thailand has claimed that 9 people died during the ongoing struggle with Cambodia.

This is not the first time that military tension between the two countries has increased, but this time the response appears more aggressive and planned. The Thai Army claims that this action has been taken into self -defense, while Cambodia called it a cruel and barbaric military attack.

Preh Vihar Temple and historical controversy
This dispute is not new. This tension between the two countries has been going on for decades with the 12th century famous Hindu temple Preh Vihar. In 1962, the International Court of Court (ICJ) declared this temple a part of Cambodia, but some nationalist groups in Thailand still challenge it today. The temple not only has historical significance, but is also associated with Cambodian nationality and religious sentiments. There have been frequent military clashes in this area. Earlier, there was a fight again in the year 2008, 2011 and now 2025.

Civil damage and human rights concerns
This time, not only military hideouts but also civil areas were affected in the attacks. According to Thailand, Cambodian soldiers have targeted a military base and hospital on the border. All this shows that the conflict is no longer limited to military boundaries. This is also affecting ordinary citizens. Human rights organizations have appealed to both countries to exercise restraint and follow international rules. Apart from this, an emergency meeting of UNSC has also been demanded.

Diplomatic stress and potential international impact
Both countries have expelled each other’s ambassadors. Thailand has given a strong warning against Cambodia that if the attacks continue, it will intensify its self -defense strategy. This phenomenon will affect not only regional stability, but can also see its results on international forums like ASEAN. Experts believe that if the same situation remains, then global powers like America and China can also come up for mediation.

New front of landmine
The issue of landmines has also emerged in this struggle. Thailand claims that its recently built landmines injured his soldiers, while Cambodia says it was an explosion of old tunnels. This allegation and counter-allegation are becoming more serious as landmines can become a long-term threat not only to soldiers but also local citizens.

Cambodian response and military recruitment work
Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Manet clearly stated in the national address that “it is necessary to give an armed response in the midst of a turbulent situation. He announced to resume military recruitment, which is clear that the country is getting ready for long -term struggle. The step shows that the conflict can now turn into a long -term strategy.

Thailand Gets New PM: There was a unique turn in Thailand politics when Prime Minister Partagarn Shinavatra was suspended on Tuesday due to a leaked call. In his place, Deputy PM Suriya Jungurungarengkit was appointed as the acting Prime Minister, but his term will be only one day.

What are the allegations on Partagarna?
In a leaked call, Pitragarnas allegedly criticized the army and made a statement in favor of Cambodia, which is considered to be a violation of the Minister’s Code of Conduct under the Thai Constitution. The constitutional court said that there is enough doubt against them, so they have been suspended until the investigation is completed. They have to answer in 15 days.

One day Prime Minister!

Soon after suspension, 70 -year -old Suria was made the acting Prime Minister for Wednesday. He is currently the Transport Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. Interestingly, it was the same day when the 93rd anniversary of the Prime Minister’s Office was being celebrated in Bangkok and Suria will not be able to handle that office even 93 hours.

There will be a new change on Thursday

On Thursday, the new Home Minister and Deputy PM will be made the new Home Minister and Deputy PM under the already fixed cabinet reshuffle. According to the party, due to the seniority of the post of deputy PM, Phumtham will be handed over the reins of the country in place of Suria.

Who is the Partagarna?

Partagartar comes from Thailand’s most influential political legacy and is the daughter of former Prime Minister Thacasin Shinavatra. She became Prime Minister in August 2023, but due to controversy and power struggles, her tenure has come into crisis. Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinavatra was removed from power in 2006 through a military coup. Since then, his family has been continuously centers of controversies and power struggle in Thai politics.

Political analysts believe that this suspension of the Prime Minister is not just a constitutional or legal process, but an attempt to weaken the democratically elected government by the army and conservative powers.
