Tensions Ignite: Thai-Cambodian Border Crisis Escalates Amidst Legal Threats and War Propaganda Claims

Recent developments have brought to light significant tensions and diplomatic efforts concerning the Thai-Cambodian border conflict, marked by allegations, disinformation campaigns, and humanitarian concerns. Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has vehemently denied claims circulating on social media regarding a supposed plot to assassinate Cambodian leaders Hun Sen and Hun Manet.

Nikorndej Balankura, Director-General of the Department of Information and spokesperson for the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, refuted claims by Cambodia's Foreign Ministry, stating that Cambodia's commitment to a ceasefire was
