Thailand and Cambodia are fighting again. New information about the victims
On Tuesday, the Cambodian authorities reported that seven civilians had been killed and 20 injured in new clashes. However, they did not specify whether the number of dead included the four people whose deaths were reported on Monday or whether these were new victims.
Hun Sen, the president of the Cambodian Senate and formerly the country's long-time prime minister who is still considered the de facto leader, said on social media platforms on Tuesday that his country had refrained from responding to the attacks on Monday but now must retaliate. “Cambodia wants peace, but Cambodia is forced to fight to defend its territory,” he wrote.
Clashes on the border between the two countries broke out a month and a half after the ceasefire agreement negotiated by US President Donald Trump. The document was signed on October 26 and was intended to regulate relations between Thailand and Cambodia after five days of fighting in July, which resulted in the deaths of at least 43 people and around 300,000. were forced to evacuate.
