The Thailand-Cambodia border stoush has escalated again, with extra checks at the border aimed at stopping tourists from crossing.

The two countries have announced tit-for-tat restrictions following the death of a Cambodian soldier in a contested border area late last month.

While the two sides have agreed to de-escalate their dispute, they continue to implement or threaten measures that have kept tensions high.

Russia has been launching near-daily drone and missile attacks against Ukraine in recent months, but their intensity has increased in recent weeks as talks to end the war yielded few results.

US President Donald Trump has been attempting to broker a peace between the two sides, but negotiations have so far yielded little progress, though prisoner exchanges have been agreed.

Strikes in Kyiv overnight on Monday lit up the night sky with fires in residential areas and damaged the entrance to a metro station bomb shelter.

At least 34 people including four children were wounded in the attacks on Kyiv, the emergencies service said.

From midnight until almost dawn, the city shook with explosions and rattling machine gun fire from anti-aircraft units aiming at the drones.

Ukraine's air force said it had downed 339 of 352 drones and 15 of 16 missiles launched by Russia in the attack on four Ukrainian regions.

Rescue workers pulled bodies from the rubble of an apartment block in Kyiv's busy Shevchenkivskyi district, less than a kilometre from the US embassy.

At least nine people died in the district, the interior ministry said.

In a significant development, India's Chief of Defence Staff, General Anil Chauhan, has publicly acknowledged that Indian fighter jets were lost during the recent conflict with Pakistan, known as Operation Sindoor. This marks the first official confirmation from the Indian military regarding such losses.

General Chauhan, speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, emphasized the importance of understanding the reasons behind the losses rather than focusing on the number of aircraft downed. He stated, "What is important is not the jet being down, but why they were being down," highlighting the need to analyze and rectify tactical mistakes. He dismissed Pakistan's claim of shooting down six Indian warplanes as "absolutely incorrect" but chose not to disclose the exact number of jets lost.

The conflict, which escalated in May 2025 following a terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, saw intense aerial engagements between the two nations. India conducted airstrikes targeting what it described as terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. In response, Pakistan claimed to have downed multiple Indian aircraft, including advanced Rafale jets.

General Chauhan noted that after the initial setbacks, the Indian Air Force quickly adapted its tactics. He mentioned that the force understood the tactical mistakes made, remedied them, and resumed operations with improved strategies, including long-range targeting.

Both countries have since declared a ceasefire, with no indications of nuclear escalation during the conflict. However, the situation remains tense, and the international community continues to monitor developments closely.
