At least 1 dead as Cambodia, Thailand blame each other over fresh clashes

At least one person was killed in Cambodia on Nov 12 amid a flareup of its conflict with Thailand as the neighbours accused each other of opening fire along a disputed part of their border, threatening a US-brokered truce.

Five days of hostilities erupted between the two countries in July, killing 43 people and displacing around 300,000 before a truce backed by US President Donald Trump cooled tensions.

However, Thailand on Nov 10 paused implementation of a fol-Jow-on deal to wind down hostilities, claiming a blast from a newly laid landmine had wounded four of its soldiers.

Two days on, officials on both sides have reported gunfire across the boundary between Thailand’s Sa Kaeo province and Cambodia’s Banteay Meanchey province.
