Thailand and Cambodia have been engaged in conflict along their shared border for a second consecutive day.

The ongoing dispute has led to significant violence, with at least 15 fatalities reported and more than 130,000 people displaced.

This escalation marks a shift from previously brief confrontations that rarely involved the use of weapons.

Both countries blame each other for starting the clash near Prasat Ta Muen Thom, an ancient temple claimed by both nations.

The conflict has spread to various locations along the border, leading to extensive displacement and casualties on both sides.

Acting Thai PM Phumtham Wechayachai emphasizes that Thailand has exercised restraint in response to provocations.

However, tensions have been escalating due to a series of events, including the leak of a private phone call between Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

The situation remains unresolved, raising concerns about the potential for further deterioration and regional implications.
