UPDATE 8:15 PM EDT --

What is known by the evening of July 24.

The armed conflict on the Thai-Cambodian border is not stopping. The Thai Air Force has carried out several airstrikes on the border area where the disputed temple complexes and headquarters of two Cambodian brigades are located.

Cambodia is responding with artillery fire. Once again, the media report on launches from Grad MLRS. Ground clashes on the border are also continuing.

Both Thailand and Cambodia are reporting successes. Bangkok claims to have destroyed enemy units and captured some disputed territories. Phnom Penh, on the contrary, says it has established control over the temple complexes.

The official statements of the authorities of the two countries cannot be confirmed due to the lack of objective control footage. The territories where the clashes are taking place are effectively in a gray zone.

The parties do not yet show readiness to resolve the conflict diplomatically, but they do not completely rule out the option of settlement through dialogue. The armed skirmishes may drag on for several months.
