More than 130,000 people have been evacuated from Thailand, with at least 15 dead, according to Thai authorities, following cross-border clashes with Cambodia. Fighting broke out on Thursday over a long-running border dispute between the neighbouring south-east-Asian countries.
Cambodia’s national government has not provided details of any casualties or evacuations of civilians but a local official in Oddar Meanchey province told Reuters that one civilian had been killed and five were wounded, with 1,500 families evacuated.
