Causes of events and topics or issues (70 words):<\/strong><br data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"603\" \/>The renewed violence stems from a long-running border dispute dating back to colonial-era demarcations in 1907. Tensions intensified after accusations of ceasefire violations, alleged landmine placements, and cross-border skirmishes. Thailand demanded Cambodian troop withdrawal and landmine removal before any ceasefire, while Cambodia insisted on defending sovereignty. Mutual distrust, unresolved historical claims, and retaliatory military actions have driven the conflict\u2019s escalation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1699\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><strong data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1170\">3.
