Clashes Erupt at Thailand-Cambodia Border, Over 20 Injured

Clashes Erupt at Thailand-Cambodia Border, Over 20 Injured

There's trouble brewing again at the border between Thailand and Cambodia.

Cambodian civilians, including a monk, protested against the Thai military installing barbed wire.

Thai soldiers responded with tear gas and rubber bullets, and allegedly, noise-making devices.

Over 20 Cambodians were reported injured.

Both sides accuse each other of starting the conflict and violating the ceasefire from August.

These clashes are the first major ones since August and the second major conflict since May.

The two countries have a history of border disputes dating back to a 1907 map, and the Preah Vihear temple is a major point of contention.
