Thailand and Cambodia have resumed fighting over disputed territory, just months after agreeing to a ceasefire. The two nations clashed in July, resulting in civilian and military deaths and mass evacuations. On Monday, heavy fighting broke out again, with Thailand launching airstrikes. The conflict stems from a 1907 map and a contentious 1962 court ruling favoring Cambodia. A ceasefire brokered by the U.S. in July proved to be fragile, with both sides accusing each other of violations. The renewed fighting threatens tourism, a key industry for both countries. Long-standing cultural tensions also fuel the conflict.

Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an unconditional ceasefire to end deadly border clashes. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced the agreement Monday after hosting the talks as annual chair of the ASEAN regional bloc, saying the ceasefire comes into effect at midnight local time. Military commanders and officials from both countries will meet to defuse tensions. The clashes began last Thursday after a land mine explosion wounded Thai soldiers. The violence has killed at least 35 people and displaced over 260,000. The ceasefire marks a significant step towards peace and security in the region.

Fighting between Thailand and Cambodia over disputed border areas has entered a second day, leaving at least 15 dead and displacing more than 80,000 people. Clashes flared up again Friday in multiple areas along the border, including near an ancient temple claimed by both countries. The Thai army accused Cambodian forces of using heavy artillery, prompting what Thai officials described as "appropriate supporting fire" in return. Malaysia has expressed concern and offered to mediate. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has also called for restraint and urged both countries to resolve disputes through dialogue.

Thai and Cambodian soldiers have clashed along the two countries' border in a major escalation of a festering dispute over territory that killed least 14 people, mostly civilians. The two sides fired small arms, artillery and rockets, and Thailand also called in airstrikes. Thai villagers could be seen in videos fleeing their homes as the clashes began Thursday morning. A Thai Defense Ministry spokesperson said fighting was ongoing in at least six areas along the border. The Southeast Asian neighbors have longstanding border disputes that periodically and briefly flare along their 800-kilometer frontier. But Thursday's clashes were far bigger in scale and intensity.

A powerful earthquake has rocked Myanmar and neighboring Thailand, destroying buildings and bridges and killing at least 150 people, mostly in Myanmar. Officials in Bangkok say 10 people were killed and 101 were missing from three construction sites, including a high-rise that crumbled. Footage from two hard-hit cities in Myanmar, one of the world's poorest countries, showed many collapsed buildings, and authorities said the death toll was likely to rise. The 7.7 magnitude quake was centered near Myanmar's second-largest city of Mandalay. It struck Friday at midday and was followed by a strong aftershock. Amid images of buckled roads and reports of collapsed bridges in Myanmar, there were concerns about how rescuers would even reach some affected areas.
