Border conflict with Cambodia could ‘escalate into state of war' warns Thailand as fighting expands to new areas
At least 15 people have been killed in Thailand and one in Cambodia, and tens of thousands of people have been displaced on both sides of the contested border. Acting prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai of Thailand claimed Cambodia had deployed heavy weapons on multiple fronts and said Bangkok was defending its territory. 'The current situation involves acts of intrusion and aggression that are causing harm to the people's lives. The situation has intensified and could escalate into a state of war. At present, it's a confrontation involving heavy weapons,' he told reporters. Fighting expanded to 12 locations yesterday the Thai military said, up from six the previous day when they first erupted. The two sides blamed each other for starting the conflict amid continued fighting, with Bangkok accusing Cambodia of deliberately targeting civilians, and Phnom Penh alleging that Thailand was using cluster munitions, an ordnance banned by an international treaty. The Southeast Asian nations contest several stretches of their 817km land border – partly drawn by Cambodia's French colonial rulers over a century ago – which passes near several archaeologically important religious sites claimed by both countries. The US, a longtime ally of Thailand, urged an immediate end to the hostilities. State Department deputy spokesman Tommy Pigott said that Washington was 'gravely concerned by the escalating violence along the Thailand-Cambodia border and deeply saddened by reports of harm to civilians'. China said that it was 'deeply concerned' by the violent clashes and would 'continue in its own way to do its best to promote peace and dialogue'. The UN Security Council was due to meet yesterday to discuss the conflict. Thai foreign ministry spokesperson Nikorndej Balankura told Reuters it rejected the possibility of third-party mediation, insisting that Phnom Penh cease attacks and resolve the situation through bilateral talks. The Thai military reported clashes yesterday in Chong Bok and Phu Makhuea in the Ubon Ratchathani province, Phanom Dong Rak in Surin, and near the ancient Ta Muen Thom temple. In Cambodia, a man died after a Thai rocket struck a Buddhist pagoda where he had taken shelter.

Ukraine soldiers cut off after Elon Musk's Starlink communications system goes down
Ukraine's forces are heavily reliant on thousands of SpaceX's Starlink terminals for battlefield communications and some drone operations, as they have proved resistant to espionage and signal jamming throughout the three and a half years of fighting Russia's invasion. Starlink experienced one of its biggest international outages on Thursday when an internal software failure knocked tens of thousands of users offline. "Starlink is down across the entire front," Robert Brovdi, the commander of Ukraine's drone forces, wrote on Telegram at 10:41 p.m. (1941 GMT) on Thursday. He updated his post later to say that by about 1:05 a.m. on Friday the issue had been resolved. He said the incident had highlighted the risk of reliance on the systems, and called for communication and connectivity methods to be diversified. "Combat missions were performed without a (video) feed, battlefield reconnaissance was done with strike (drones)," Brovdi wrote. Oleksandr Dmitriev, the founder of OCHI, a Ukrainian system that centralises feeds from thousands of drone crews across the frontline, told Reuters the outage showed that relying on cloud services to command units and relay battlefield drone reconnaissance was a "huge risk". "If connection to the internet is lost ... the ability to conduct combat operations is practically gone," he said, calling for a move towards local communication systems that are not reliant on the internet. Although Starlink does not operate in Russia, Ukrainian officials have said that Moscow's troops are also widely using the systems on the frontlines in Ukraine.
