Thailand’s Constitutional Court has removed Prime Minister Pettongtan Shinawatra from office following the leak of a phone call with former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. In the recording, Pettongtan criticized her own military and assured Hun Sen of her support, sparking public outrage and nationalist backlash. She had assumed office in August 2024 as Thailand’s youngest prime minister. Lawmakers may now form a new government or call fresh elections if consensus is not reached.

The Thai military has accused Cambodia of violating the ceasefire agreement just hours after it took effect, alleging multiple armed attacks on Thai territory. Cambodia denies these claims. Both nations agreed to an indefinite, unconditional ceasefire after peace talks in Malaysia aimed at ending clashes over a disputed border temple area. Despite tensions, scheduled meetings between commanders are underway. The conflict has caused 38 deaths and displaced nearly 300,000 people. International leaders urge full compliance and peaceful resolution.

Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire to end their five-day border conflict. The ceasefire will take effect from midnight Monday local time, following a meeting in Kuala Lumpur. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet called the agreement a step toward restoring normal relations. The talks involved mediation by Malaysia, with the support of the US and China. Earlier, US President Trump urged both leaders to reach a swift ceasefire.

The border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia has intensified into its second day with heavy gunfire from both sides. Thailand has declined third-party mediation offers, insisting the crisis must be resolved through bilateral talks only. The clashes, the most severe in a decade, have killed at least 16 people, mostly Thai civilians. Despite international concern and mediation proposals from the US, China, and Malaysia, Thailand maintains that external involvement is unnecessary. Cambodia condemned Thailand’s recent airstrike as reckless aggression.

Thailand has imposed martial law in eight border provinces following two days of deadly clashes with Cambodia that have killed at least 16 Thais and displaced over 138,000 people. Fighting involving tanks, artillery, and airstrikes has erupted, with both sides blaming each other. Cambodia reported civilian casualties as well. Thailand has expressed readiness for talks, but no response has come from Phnom Penh. The UN Security Council has called an emergency meeting amid fears of escalation and economic fallout in the tourism-dependent region.

A longstanding border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has erupted into deadly violence. Thai F-16 fighter jets carried out airstrikes targeting Cambodian positions, killing nine civilians and injuring at least 14 in Thailand. Both countries are blaming each other for the aggression. As a result, nearly 40,000 residents from the border areas have been evacuated. Diplomatic relations have deteriorated, with both nations imposing trade and diplomatic restrictions. Analysts warn the conflict may escalate further unless de-escalation steps are taken immediately.

Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit has been appointed acting Prime Minister for just one day after Petongtarn Shinawatra was suspended by the Constitutional Court. The suspension followed a leaked phone call with Cambodian leader Hun Sen, raising concerns over ethical breaches. Suriya began his brief tenure by attending a ceremony marking the 93rd anniversary of the Prime Minister’s Office. He will transfer power to Phumtham Wechayachai on Thursday following a cabinet reshuffle. Suriya made no public comments, calling only the power handover his priority.

Thousands gathered in Bangkok demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Pita Tangtarn Sinawatra after a leaked phone conversation revealed controversial remarks about Cambodia and the Thai military. The scandal led to a key coalition party withdrawing support, weakening the government’s majority. Protesters, including many senior citizens and former Yellow Shirt activists, accused the PM of betraying national sovereignty. The political divide between pro-Thaksin Red Shirts and monarchy-backed Yellow Shirts deepens amid growing unrest.

A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, with tremors felt in neighboring Bangladesh and Thailand. While Bangladesh reported no significant damage, a high-rise under construction collapsed in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district, trapping 43 construction workers. The quake caused cracks in roads and debris to fall from buildings. Myanmar’s Fire Services Department stated, “We have begun investigations in Yangon to assess casualties and damage, but no official reports are available yet.”
