Thai-Cambodia Border Clash Death Toll Reaches 40

Heavy fighting continues along the Thailand-Cambodia border. The conflict has now killed 40 people, including 24 civilians. The ongoing clashes have forced more schools in the area to close. This is to protect students and staff from the violence. The fighting involves artillery and small arms fire in disputed border regions. Both sides blame the other for starting the hostilities. International calls for a ceasefire have so far been unsuccessful. The situation remains tense with no immediate resolution in sight.
