The Thai and Cambodian armies clashed on Thursday along their shared border. The fighting, which left at least 12 dead and 30 wounded, marks a significant escalation of the long-standing border dispute between the two countries.

More than 100 people have been killed in recent days in clashes between Syrian security forces and militias loyal to former President Bashar al-Assad in the country's coastal region, where a curfew has been imposed in Latakia and Tartus due to the intensity of the fighting, the Syrian Observatory reported yesterday.
