Over 130,000 people displaced as deadly Thailand-Cambodia clashes enter 2nd day

BANGKOK/PHNOM PENH: Thailand and Cambodia exchanged fire along their disputed border for a second day on Friday, as their worst fighting in years killed at least 15 people and displaced more than 130,000. The fighting between the Southeast Asian neighbors is the latest in a history of disputes that dates back more than a century, to when Cambodia’s former colonial ruler France first mapped the 800-km shared land border. Both countries have blamed each other for starting a clash on Thursday near Prasat Ta Muen Thom, an ancient temple claimed by both nations.
