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.
Thailand said it’s taking steps to restrict exports of fuel and arms through a checkpoint with Laos on fears the goods are being diverted to Cambodia as the border clash between the two countries intensifies.
Fighting between the Southeast Asian countries has been some of the most intense since a five-day battle in July that ended with a ceasefire pushed by Trump.
Trump announced the agreement to restart the ceasefire in a social media posting on Friday following calls with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet.
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.
The conflict appeared to have continued unabated on Saturday morning, a day after President Trump said a cease-fire was supposed to have resumed.
