Thailand Tightens Cambodia Border Controls Amid Tensions

Thailand has reduced operating hours at border checkpoints with Cambodia and banned certain individuals and trucks from crossing. The move began Saturday amid Cambodian accusations of Thai territorial intrusion and attacks. Thailand denied the claims, stating Cambodian troops entered Ubon Ratchathani and opened fire on May 28 when Thai soldiers approached them for talks.
