BANGKOK – ONE Thai soldier was killed in fresh fighting on the border with Cambodia, Thailand’s army said on Friday, shattering a truce aimed at ending the bloodiest clashes between the neighbours in decades.
Sporadic fighting erupted just hours after a ceasefire deal was agreed on Thursday and continued overnight, Colonel Prawit Hookaew, north-eastern army region spokesman, said.
‘The situation is now calming but still tense,’ he added.
Fighting around two temples at the jungle frontier between the countries, now in its eighth day, has claimed 16 lives including one civilian and caused tens of thousands of people to flee from their homes.
