Enfrentamientos entre Tailandia y Camboya: más de 900.000 personas fueron evacuadas por el conflicto fronterizo

Un masivo éxodo fronterizo afecta a Camboya y Tailandia tras más de dos semanas de intensos combates. El Ministerio del Interior en Nom Pen informó este domingo que ya son más de medio millón las personas desplazadas internamente, forzadas a abandonar hogares y escuelas para buscar resguardo ante nuevos episodios de violencia militar en la frontera común.
El conflicto, agravado por el uso de tanques, artillería pesada, drones y ataques aéreos, dejó desde principios de mes un saldo de al menos 52 muertos en la región —35 en Tailandia y 17 en Camboya—, según cifras oficiales de ambos gobiernos.
La raíz de estas hostilidades se encuentra en una disputa de larga data derivada de la demarcación territorial impuesta en la época colonial, agravada por reclamos sobre la propiedad de templos con significado histórico en la región.
Funcionarios camboyanos advirtieron que cientos de miles de hombres, mujeres y niños debieron huir apresuradamente a zonas más seguras para escapar de los bombardeos y los disparos, con desplazamientos de masas que superan los 518.000 solo en Camboya.
Bangkok, por su parte, confirmó que otros 400.000 tailandeses debieron mudarse dentro del país para resguardarse de la inestabilidad persistente.

En este nuevo episodio, ambos países cruzan acusaciones: cada uno responsabiliza al otro tanto de haber iniciado las hostilidades como de protagonizar ataques contra la población civil en la frontera.
La memoria reciente de los sangrientos choques de julio, que derivaron en la muerte de decenas de personas y en una breve tregua mediada por potencias internacionales, subraya lo frágil de la situación actual: aunque entonces se logró detener los combates, la escalada retomó impulso y hoy Camboya y Tailandia enfrentan una crisis humanitaria de enormes proporciones en sus zonas fronterizas.
En octubre, el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump apoyó públicamente una declaración conjunta entre ambos países para mantener y ampliar la tregua, promoviendo además futuros acuerdos comerciales. Sin embargo, sólo un mes después, Tailandia suspendió el compromiso luego de que varios de sus soldados resultaron heridos por minas terrestres en la frontera. Bangkok acusó a Nom Pen de haber instalado nuevas minas.
Trump anunció la semana pasada que ambos países habían llegado a un nuevo alto el fuego. No obstante, las autoridades tailandesas desmintieron la existencia de cualquier tregua y, desde el enfrentamiento fronterizo del 7 de diciembre, las hostilidades son diarias.
El secretario de Estado estadounidense, Marco Rubio, expresó el viernes sus expectativas de que se alcance un nuevo cese al fuego entre Camboya y Tailandia a inicios de la semana entrante.
Este lunes, en Kuala Lumpur, está prevista una reunión de ministros de Asuntos Exteriores de la ASEAN, con la participación de delegaciones camboyanas y tailandesas, para buscar una salida diplomática.
China también se ha sumado a los esfuerzos, enviando la semana pasada a su representante especial, Deng Xijun, a ambos países con el objetivo de promover el diálogo y la reconstrucción de la paz. Según informó el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de Camboya, Deng se reunió el viernes pasado con el primer ministro Hun Manet en Phnom Penh y destacó la importancia de frenar la escalada.
Mientras tanto, los combates en la frontera persisten, especialmente en las cercanías del templo Preah Vihear, patrimonio mundial de la UNESCO y escenario histórico de enfrentamientos. También es foco de la disputa una franja adyacente donde, en 2008, soldados de ambos países se enfrentaron, iniciando años de violencia con saldo de unas dos decenas de muertos.
Un fallo de la Corte Internacional de Justicia de la ONU en 2013 zanjó temporalmente la cuestión a favor de Camboya, pero la calma se quebró en mayo de este año tras la muerte de un soldado camboyano en un nuevo episodio armado. Ahora, con el conflicto en pleno recrudecimiento, Camboya denuncia que su ejército, superado en recursos y armamento, sigue bajo ataque por parte de fuerzas tailandesas, especialmente desde el amanecer en la zona próxima al antiguo templo.

US judge orders suspect detained for threatening to kill Richard Grenell

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia, on Tuesday ordered the detention of a 33-year-old man charged with threatening to kill President Donald Trump ally and Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell, in what Justice Department officials described as a win for the Trump administration – and for Lindsey Halligan, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Grenell, a former U.S. ambassador to Germany, was not in court for the arraignment Tuesday afternoon, and was identified in a press release only as a «federal employee.»
The Justice Department identified Grenell to Fox News Digital as the individual in question.
The suspect, Scott Allen Bolger, was charged with transmitting threats in interstate commerce, and with making false statements to federal officers, who later used phone evidence to trace the threats back to him. He was arraigned in federal court in Alexandria.
Justice Department officials told Fox News Digital that the decision to hold an individual in pretrial detention is somewhat rare, and described the win as a victory for the Justice Department.
According to court documents, Bolger used Google Voice to send threatening messages to Grenell, including allegedly threatening to kill him. Google Voice allows users to make calls and send messages to phone numbers that are not tied to their primary devices.
Bolger is also accused of lying to members of a federal task force who went to his residence in McLean to question him, falsely identifying himself as «Brian Black.»

They also noted that Halligan, who Trump installed as U.S. attorney for EDVA earlier this year, attended the arraignment.
Halligan attended the proceedings, but did not play a formal role, Fox News Digital confirmed.
The Justice Department also shared a victim statement from Grenell with Fox News Digital that was read aloud in court.
«In my current role as a presidential envoy, I have been attacked and harassed by people who don’t know me and who simply want to leave nasty, rude and angry messages because I don’t share their political viewpoint,» Grenell said in the statement.
«But I strongly believe it is their right to be bitter and angry. I understand the passion. And I think the freedom to be rude and angry is a cherished right.»
«But today is much different,» he said. «Today we are dealing with someone who went far beyond sharing his angry opinion. Today we see a man who wants to kill someone because of their political differences.»
«And as we have sadly learned from my friend Charlie Kirk’s death, we must take talk of violence and calls for death seriously. «
«This individual crossed the line from sharing his viewpoint to wanting to shoot someone in the face because he disagrees with them politically. It is very troubling,» he said, adding, «The people doing what he is doing, and there are many, must be given clear instructions from community leaders that their calls for shooting people in the head will have swift and severe consequences. Unstable people are watching what we do today.»

Notably, the determination to hold Bolger in pretrial detention was made by U.S. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick most recently made headlines for issuing scathing broadsides against DOJ for its handling of grand jury materials in the Comey case, which he said, last month, presented «irregularities» that «may rise to the level of government misconduct.»
The suspect’s arrest comes at a time when threats and intimidation aimed at high-profile figures across all three branches of government have appeared to escalate.

Polls have shown that people believe political violence is on the rise in the wake of Kirk’s assassination, the murder of two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers and violence toward immigration enforcement officials.

China launches largest military drills off Taiwan in 8 months with live-fire exercises caught on camera

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
China fired rockets into waters near Taiwan during large-scale live-fire drills Tuesday, staging its biggest military encirclement of the island in eight months while warning «separatist» forces and outside powers.
A video released by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command showed forces firing rockets into waters north of Taiwan and bomber aircraft taking off at night as part of the encirclement.
The footage was released on the second day of the large-scale exercise «Justice Mission 2025.»
China launched the exercise Monday, surrounding Taiwan with warships, aircraft and live-fire drills as tensions rose following a record U.S. arms sale to Taipei.

«Justice Mission 2025» includes coordinated deployments of ground forces, naval vessels, fighter jets, drones and artillery across seven maritime zones encircling Taiwan.
Tuesday’s drills included long-range live-fire exercises in waters north of Taiwan, PLA Eastern Theater Command spokesperson Li Xi said, according to state-run Xinhua News. Li said the drills achieved their intended results.
Other drills included assaults on maritime targets and anti-air and anti-submarine operations. Destroyers, frigates, fighter jets and bombers also carried out simulated strikes on maritime targets.

Rockets fired by Chinese forces landed inside Taiwan’s 24-nautical-mile line, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said.
Taiwanese leader William Lai Ching-te said Tuesday that Beijing «has continued to escalate military tension in the region, which is not the behavior of a responsible world power,» according to Focus Taiwan. He added that «Taiwan will not provoke a confrontation, nor seek conflict with China.»
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said on X that 130 PLA aircraft, 14 naval vessels and eight official ships were operating around the island as of 6 a.m. local time.
«Ninety of the 130 sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan’s northern, central, southwestern and eastern air defense identification zone,» the statement said. «We monitored the situation and responded.»

The PLA said on X that a Chinese military drone captured aerial footage of Taipei 101, which Taiwan’s Defense Ministry described as a typical example of psychological warfare. «So close, so beautiful, go to Taipei at any time,» the PLA said in the post.
President Donald Trump said Monday that Chinese President Xi Jinping did not inform him of the drills, adding that the exercises did not concern him.
As the drills unfolded, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said Chinese military aircraft and naval vessels were operating near the island, with some engaging in close stand-offs near Taiwan’s contiguous zone, about 24 nautical miles from shore.

«Conducting live-fire exercises around the Taiwan Strait would not only constitute military pressure on us, but could also pose broader risks to the international community and neighboring countries,» said Hsieh Jih-sheng, Taiwan’s deputy chief of the general staff for intelligence.
Taiwan placed its military on high alert and said it was prepared to conduct rapid-response exercises if the drills escalated. The ministry released video highlighting its own capabilities, including U.S.-made HIMARS systems, while the coast guard deployed large patrol ships to monitor Chinese vessels near its waters.

China claims Taiwan as its territory and has not ruled out using force to bring the island under its control. Taiwan rejects that claim, maintaining that only its people can decide the island’s future.
