Thailand and Cambodia engaged in a second day of border clashes on Friday, resulting in over a dozen deaths and the evacuation of more than 100,000 civilians. The conflict, escalating tensions over a disputed border region, involved heavy weaponry and artillery fire from both sides. Cambodia initiated the Friday morning attack, prompting a Thai response, including airstrikes. Both nations have close ties with China and the US, who have urged de-escalation. The conflict stems from a long-standing border dispute and a May incident where a Cambodian soldier was killed. Thousands have been displaced, seeking refuge in temporary shelters.
