Cambodia clash heaps pressure on embattled Thai PM, boosts army


BANGKOK: Thailand’s military conflict with Cambodia is inflaming nationalist tensions at home and threatening embattled leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra (pic), who had already been suspended as prime minister for her handling of the border dispute.

Hours after Thai fighter jets struck Cambodian military positions and Phnom Penh hit civilian areas in the deadliest clashes in over a decade, Thai nationalist groups announced plans for an anti-government rally in Bangkok on Sunday (July 27). Tweets supporting the Thai army and air force are trending on X and Facebook in Thailand.
