Thailand attacked Cambodia: masses of residents were evacuated

Thailand announced that it carried out airstrikes in Cambodia today, after fighting broke out in multiple areas along the border, after the two countries accused each other of violating a ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump, Reuters reported today. At least one Thai soldier was killed and eight were wounded in clashes that intensified around 5:00 a.m. local time, a Thai military spokesman said, adding that Air support was flown in to hit Cambodian military targets.

Local residents living along the explosive border were evacuated from their homes in both countries. In Thailand, more than 385,000 civilians in four border provinces have been evacuated, with more than 35,000 already housed in temporary shelters, according to the Thai military. Across the border, in Cambodia, opposition politician Mitch Sobanara said civilians had also begun to move away from the fighting along the border.

As of this moment, from a tourist point of view, no attractions were affected, and no special instructions were given to those staying in Thailand. An Israeli who is now in the country points out that there is no special effect on the street and that the attack is not felt in the tourist areas.

On the MLA website, Thailand is still defined as a combined threat level, whenIt is a recommendation Avoid reaching the south of the country (not including the islands). In addition, there is an occasional threat (level 2) and it is recommended to take increased precautions in the rest of Thailand. These recommendations existed even before the attack.

Regarding Cambodia, there is no Israeli zone for the country as of now, and the directive is only Take normal precautions. At the same time, in Britain a special warning was issued for those in the country, and the British government updated its instructions for those in Cambodia.

The warning, according to the publication, focuses on the border area between the countries, with the recommendation being to stay away from conflict zones and follow the various instructions.
