Tensions between Cambodia and Thailand exploded into deadly border clashes this week, killing at least 13 and displacing over 170,000.
Cambodia has urgently called for an immediate ceasefire, citing a desire for a peaceful resolution.
The conflict flared near the disputed Preah Vihear and Prasat Ta Muen Thom temples, ancient religious sites turned battlegrounds.
Artillery and rocket fire were exchanged, with accusations flying at the United Nations Security Council.
Thailand blamed Cambodia for "inhumane" attacks, while Cambodia argued that Thailand initiated the violence.
A century-old land dispute—rooted in colonial maps and contested rulings—has resurfaced, reigniting fears of a broader war.
The 2013 ICJ ruling gave control of the 11th-century Preah Vihear temple to Cambodia, yet Thailand continues to dispute surrounding territory.
With both militaries mobilized and thousands fleeing their homes, the region teeters on the edge of a larger humanitarian crisis.
