SURIN: Fighting raged Thursday along the border of Cambodia and Thailand, with explosions heard near centuries-old temples ahead of US President Donald Trump’s planned phone call to the leaders of both nations. At least 19 people have been killed in the latest round of border fighting that reignited last week, officials said. More than half a million people, mostly in Thailand, have fled border areas near where jets, tanks and drones have waged battle.

Each side has blamed the other for renewed clashes, which have derailed a ceasefire brokered by Donald Trump

After a ceasefire deal he brokered collapsed, Trump told a rally in Pennsylvania that he would ‘make a call’ to ‘stop a war’ between Thailand and Cambodia
