SAMRAONG, Cambodia: Thailand and Cambodia clashed for a third day on Saturday, as the death toll from their bloodiest fighting in years rose to 33 and Phnom Penh called for an “immediate ceasefire.” A long-running border dispute erupted into intense conflict involving jets, artillery, tanks and ground troops on Thursday, prompting the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting on the crisis Friday. Cambodia’s defense ministry said 13 people were now confirmed killed in the fighting, including eight civilians and five soldiers, with 71 people wounded.

Thai health authorities say 14 people killed in Cambodian attacks; Thailand carries out cross-border air attacks.

Fighting was reported in at least six locations along the disputed Thai-Cambodia border on Thursday, with Thailand launching air strikes.
