Thailand and Cambodia have traded blame for renewed clashes along their disputed border and pledged to continue the fighting, as the death toll climbs in the latest outbreak of hostilities between the neighbours. Cambodia's Ministry of National Defence said on Tuesday nine civilians had been killed and 20 injured since Monday,"
"That bout of fighting, involving the exchange of rockets and heavy artillery fire and fuelled by competing territorial claims along their border, resulted in at least 48 deaths on both sides and the temporary evacuation of more than 300,000 civilians before a ceasefire was brokered by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and United States President Donald Trump. Thailand, however, suspended the implementation of the ceasefire pact last month, following a landmine blast that maimed one of its soldiers."
