In Thailand, a civilian death was reported for the first time in its newly reignited border conflict with Cambodia today. The Thai Government spokesperson condemned Cambodia for deliberately firing into civilian areas, saying that such an action was cruel and inhumane.

Meanwhile, Thailand’s military today announced the imposition of a curfew in parts of Trat Province, citing the ongoing situation along the border areas. The two sides are battling over longstanding competing claims to patches of frontier land, some of which contain centuries-old temple ruins.

Earlier on Friday, US President Trump announced that the two countries had agreed to renew the ceasefire, but Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul denied making any commitment, and Cambodia announced it was continuing to fight in self-defence.
