The renewed fighting between the Southeast Asian neighbours this month has killed at least 21 people in Thailand and 17 in Cambodia, while displacing around 800,000, officials said.<br \/>\nThe conflict stems from a territorial dispute over the colonial-era demarcation of their 800-kilometre (500-mile) border and a smattering of ancient temple ruins situated on the frontier.<br \/>\nEach side has blamed the other for instigating the fresh fighting and traded accusations of attacks on civilians. Thailand said Tuesday that between 5,000 and 6,000 Thai nationals remained stranded in Poipet after Cambodia closed its land border crossings with its neighbour.<br \/>\nCambodia\u2019s interior ministry said the border closures were a \u201cnecessary measure\u201d to reduce risks to civilians amid the ongoing combat, adding that air travel remained an option for those seeking to leave. At least four casinos in Cambodia have been damaged by Thai strikes, the interior ministry said this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHNOM PENH Cambodia said Thailand\u2019s military on Thursday bombed the casino town of Poipet, a major crossing between the two nations, as foreign powers pressured them to halt reignited border clashes.
