Armed clashes broke out along the Thailand-Cambodia border last week, leaving at least 12 Thais dead and dozens wounded, according to Thai officials. Fighting centered on the disputed Prasat Ta Muen Thom temple, with both sides exchanging artillery and rocket fire. Each government accused the other of triggering the violence, which forced tens of thousands to flee. Cambodian authorities have acknowledged casualties but have not disclosed full figures.
On Saturday, officials from both countries announced a ceasefire agreement aimed at ending the hostilities. Negotiations are ongoing as border residents begin to return to their homes.
