Phnom Penh, June 13, 2025 (AFP) - Cambodia ordered troops to stay on "full alert" and banned Thai dramas on television on Friday in an ongoing border spat between the South-East Asian neighbours.

Phnom Penh also shut off internet connections routed through Thailand on the eve of a meeting between the two sides aimed at defusing tensions following deadly clashes last month.
