Amid ceasefire at border, Thailand-Cambodia military-level talks postponed
The Thailand-Cambodia border, which witnessed violent conflict since last week, remained reportedly calm on Tuesday following a ceasefire deaL. However, a military commanders level talks from both sides which was scheduled today, has been postponed, Reuters reported. The Thailand and Cambodia militaries are yet to agree on the location for the talks, as the military commanders level talks were postponed, a Thai official was quoted as saying by Reuters. Thailand government spokesperson Jirayu Huangsap told reporters that their administration would notify the United States and China, who took part in ceasefire negotiations on Monday, about the ceasefire violations by Cambodia. The clashes between the two countries led to the killing of at least 33 people and more than 120,000 had to flee their homes which were situated near the border. The Thai army has alleged that Cambodia launched attacks in several areas after the ceasefire, which was supposed to take effect at midnight. However, the Cambodia side has denied the allegations and said that there was no firing in any location, Associated Press reported. Acting Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet met in Malaysia on Monday and agreed to halt their deadliest conflict in over a decade. Both the leaders agreed to an 'immediate and unconditional ceasefire'. The truce was announced by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, alongside his Thai and Cambodian counterparts. 'This is a vital first step to a de-escalation and a restoration of peace and security,' he said, while confirming that the hostilities between the two neighbours would cease by midnight. Reports suggested that calm had returned along the border of Thailand and Cambodia but the Thai military spokesperson alleged that though Thailand ceased all the military activities in the region, Cambodian troops, however continued strikes after the ceasefire came into effect at midnight and the Thai army responded with defensive action. Thailand's Major Gen. Vithai Laithomya, in a statement said, 'Such actions represent a deliberate violation of the ceasefire and a serious breach of trust.' –with inputs from AP and Reuters

'Documented mental health history': Who was Shane Tamura? What we know about the Manhattan building shooter
A shooting at a Midtown Manhattan office building on Monday evening left five people dead, including a New York City police officer and the suspected gunman, according to police. The suspected gunman, identified as Shane Tamura also died at the scene, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. Mayor Eric Adams called the attack a "senseless act of violence" and said officials are still working to understand the motive. 'We lost four souls to another act of senseless violence,' Adams said at a late-night briefing, excluding the gunman from the death toll. Who was Shane Devon Tamura? The suspected gunman behind the deadly Midtown Manhattan office shooting has been identified as Shane Devon Tamura, a 27-year-old originally from Hawaii who later moved to Las Vegas. Tamura opened fire at a high-rise office building on Park Avenue on Monday evening, killing four civilians and an NYPD officer before turning the weapon on himself. Authorities told the Associated Press that, Tamura had a documented history of mental health issues , though his exact motive remains unclear. 'We are working to understand why he targeted this particular location,' said NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch during a press briefing. A concealed carry permit issued in Las Vegas in July 2022, bearing Tamura's photo, was found at the scene. Surveillance footage showed him exiting a black BMW, armed with a .223-caliber Palmetto State Armory AR-15-style rifle equipped with a black scope, handguard, and shoulder sling. The gun, priced around $420, was reportedly the same one used during the attack, New York Post reported. Police said that Tamura first shot an officer stationed at the building's entrance, then opened fire on a woman trying to flee, followed by a security guard and another man inside the lobby. He later shot himself at the scene. Police later found a revolver, ammunition, and extra magazines in his vehicle. While an official biography is yet to be confirmed, unverified reports suggest Tamura was a former high school football player, having played as a running back at Granada Hills High School in California. A former teammate, Caleb Clarke, described him as 'a goofball' and 'class clown,' full of energy, according to NBC. The shooting took place at 345 Park Avenue , a prominent high-rise that houses major institutions including Blackstone, the National Football League, and the Irish Consulate. According to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Tamura immediately opened fire at the entrance, shooting a uniformed officer before turning the weapon on others inside. A woman who tried to flee was gunned down, followed by a security guard behind a desk and another man in the lobby. Emergency crews responded swiftly to the scene, where four civilians were found dead and a fifth was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. The slain officer was pronounced dead at the hospital. Authorities have not released the names of the victims, and the investigation is ongoing. Investigators are still piecing together the full timeline and motivation behind the attack.
