Thailand says Cambodian rocket fire has caused its first civilian death in new border fighting
KANTHARALAK, Thailand (AP) — Thailand’s government said a rocket attack from Cambodia on Sunday killed a 63-year-old villager, its first civilian death reported as a direct result of combat over the past week along the border of the two Southeast Asian nations.
Armed clashes between Thailand and Cambodia entered a second day on Tuesday, both sides said, in defiance of calls from the United States to stop fighting and adhere to a months-old Trump-brokered peace deal that now looks on the brink of complete collapse.
Cambodia said that Thailand continued dropping bombs in its territory hours after Donald Trump said the neighbours had agreed to stop fighting.
The escalation broke the ceasefire brokered in July by Trump who threatened to halt trade talks with the two countries unless they ended the fight.
