Thailand-Cambodia border dispute heats up in Sa Kaeo
Cambodia officially rejected Thailand’s unilateral plan to begin demining operations in contested Sa Kaeo border villages, escalating the possibility of a military standoff.
Cambodia insists that any demining efforts must adhere to an agreed framework, including a Joint Coordinating Task Force (JCTF) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), which Thailand's current plan bypasses.
Thailand issued an eviction deadline for Cambodian settlers in the disputed Ban Nong Chan and Ban Nong Yakaew villages, preparing a phased approach involving crowd control and unarmed soldiers.
Thailand sent an International Observer Team to monitor peace in Sa Kaeo, while its Prime Minister chaired a National Security Council meeting to assess the escalating border situation.

Supermarket freezers in several European countries hit by apparent cyberattacks
Supermarkets across Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, and Estonia reported widespread freezer and fridge malfunctions due to apparent cyberattacks.
The attacks caused refrigeration systems to overheat, with temperatures soaring to 50 degrees Celsius (122 F), forcing stores to discard spoiled food and limit fresh/frozen product availability.
Major chains like ICA Group, Coop, Delhaize, Carrefour, and SuperValu confirmed impacts, with some incidents quickly resolved, while others experienced temporary disruptions.
These incidents follow a similar pattern to a cyberattack last month in France that targeted older refrigeration systems in hundreds of stores, suggesting a coordinated effort.
