THAI-CAMBODIA BORDER TENSIONS ESCALATE, AT LEAST ONE DEAD

At least one person was killed in Cambodia amid a flare-up of conflict with Thailand on Wednesday as the neighbours accused each other of opening fire along a disputed part of their border, threatening a U.S.-brokered truce.

Earlier on Wednesday Thailand’s foreign ministry said it had demanded an apology from Cambodia after accusing it of laying fresh landmines that maimed a Thai soldier on Monday.

Thailand said it was suspending an enhanced ceasefire agreement that the two nations signed last month in the presence of President Donald Trump.
