Thailand-Cambodia Border Tensions Ease After Deadly Clashes

Algiers: At least 14 people have been killed after day-long airstrikes and rocket firing between Thailand and Cambodia, but officials claim the border situation has 'calmed down.' The Thai Health Ministry confirmed the death toll of Thai people rose to 14, including a child and one soldier, after artillery shells fired from Cambodia struck several places, according to the Thai Enquirer.

According to Anadolu Agency, thirty-two civilians were injured following the clashes, seven critically. Additionally, 14 soldiers sustained injuries, with six in serious condition.

The reported "calm" along the borders comes as Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim spoke to his Thai and Cambodian counterparts, Phumtham Wechayachai and Hun Manet, respectively, urging the warring sides to declare an "immediate ceasefire."
