Cambodia has evacuated hundreds of residents from the border village of Prey Chan in Banteay Meanchey province following a fatal shooting involving suspected Thai soldiers, raising fears of a broader border crisis. The incident is part of a long-running dispute over a contested area along the Cambodia-Thailand frontier and comes at a fragile moment in bilateral relations. Authorities described the evacuation as a preventive measure amid “rising tensions” and warned that the situation could spiral if not addressed quickly. Analysts say the flashpoint reflects underlying issues of land rights, military posturing and national identity that date back decades. Regional observers are calling for diplomatic engagement to de-escalate before the conflict disrupts broader ASEAN stability.
