Cambodia calls for immediate ceasefire with Thailand as death toll rises | BBC News


Cambodia has called for an "immediate" ceasefire with Thailand, as the two countries have seen more than 30 people killed, including civilians, in the ongoing border clashes.

Cambodia’s ambassador to the UN, Chhea Keo, said his country asked for a truce "unconditionally", adding that Phnom Penh also wanted a "peaceful solution of the dispute".

Thailand has not publicly commented on the proposal, while rejecting third-party mediation. It earlier declared martial law in eight districts bordering Cambodia.

At least 32 people – soldiers and civilians – have been killed and nearly 200,000 displaced in the two Southeast Asian countries, who accuse each other of firing the first shots on Thursday.
