Thousands of people fled their homes following Thai-Cambodia border clashes. It was the first serious outbreak of hostilities since February when 11 people were killed in clashes near the 900-year-old disputed temple Preah Vihear – the most prominent symbol of a border dispute between the Southeast Asian nations that has long stirred nationalist sentiment on both sides. The two neighbors have fought a series of deadly gun battles in recent years in the jungle near ancient temples along the border, which has never been fully demarcated, partly because it is littered with landmines.
