RENEWED CLASHES ON THAI-CAMBODIAN BORDER KILL 1 CIVILIAN, INJURE 3.(PHOTO).


 Renewed clashes on Thai-Cambodian border kill 1 civilian, injure 3

At least one civilian was killed and three others injured in renewed clashes along the Thailand-Cambodia border.

The fighting erupted on Wednesday afternoon, with both militaries blaming each other as tensions threaten to undo the fragile truce brokered last year. Cambodia’s foreign ministry said Thai forces fired on civilians in border communities, killing one and wounding three. Photos released by Cambodia’s Ministry of Defense showed military personnel assisting the injured at a local hospital. Cambodia’s defense ministry said Thai attacks occurred twice, at 3:50 p.m. and 5:54 p.m., and Prime Minister Hun Manet called for an independent investigation to hold those responsible accountable. He urged Thailand to halt the use of force against civilians and to resolve border issues peacefully.

Thailand denied the accusations, claiming Cambodian troops fired first. The Royal Thai Army said Cambodian forces fired over 30 rounds at 4:10 p.m., prompting Thai troops to respond with warning shots while avoiding civilian targets.

The border between the two nations has been contested for decades, erupting into deadly fighting this past July that left dozens dead before a peace agreement was signed in October during a ceremony attended by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The truce has faced fresh strain after four Thai soldiers were wounded by landmines near the border earlier this week, with one losing a foot. Thai officials accused Cambodia of tampering with barbed wire to plant the mines in patrolled areas. Both sides continue to accuse each other of initiating attacks.
