US President Donald Trump has announced that he plans to have a telephone conversation with the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand to resolve the conflict. He told reporters at the White House about this. The American leader noted that this conflict has been going on for many years. "I have already resolved it once.
I think I can do it pretty quickly. I think I can convince them to stop fighting," he said. On December 7, clashes with light weapons took place on the Thai-Cambodian border.
The Royal Thai Army said on Monday that Cambodian forces began shelling Thai positions along the border early in the morning. In response, the Thai Air Force attacked Cambodian military infrastructure.
Thai ground forces said Cambodia fired BM-21 missiles into Thai territory on Monday and Tuesday, also using kamikaze drones. Thai troops returned fire to gain control of key areas and inflict casualties on the enemy. According to recent reports, at least seven Cambodian and five Thai soldiers were killed in the fighting.
