Fighting between Thailand and Cambodia entered a second day on Friday, killing at least 16 people and displacing tens of thousands, as world leaders call for a ceasefire.
Intense fighting at a disputed border erupted Thursday, marking a dramatic escalation of the dispute between the two South East Asian neighbours that dates back more than a century.
In Thailand, clashes in the Ubon Ratchathani and Surin provinces wounded dozens and displaced more than 100,000 civilians. Some 1,500 families in Cambodia's Oddar Meanchey province have been evacuated.
Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says he has appealed to leaders of both countries for an immediate ceasefire.
"I welcome the positive signals and willingness shown by both Bangkok and Phnom Penh to consider this path forward," Anwar, who chairs the Association of South East Asian Nations or Asean, wrote on Facebook.
