Cambodia accuses Thailand of escalation

Cambodia’s government on Tuesday accused Thailand of escalating border tensions by imposing new restrictions that have blocked almost all land crossings, especially for tourists .

Relations between the neighbours have deteriorated following an armed confrontation on May 28 in which one Cambodian soldier was killed in a contested territory. Meanwhile, Thailand’s Bhumjaithai party, which left the ruling coalition last week, said it would seek a no confidence vote against PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra and her cabinet.
