Thailand will hold a general election on Feb. 8, with pre-poll surveys signaling a fractured mandate as outgoing Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul bets that the intensifying armed conflict with Cambodia will bolster support for his conservative party.

Armed clashes between Thailand and Cambodia entered a second day on Tuesday, both sides said, in defiance of calls from the United States to stop fighting and adhere to a months-old Trump-brokered peace deal that now looks on the brink of complete collapse.

KANTHARALAK, Thailand (AP) — Thailand’s government said a rocket attack from Cambodia on Sunday killed a 63-year-old villager, its first civilian death reported as a direct result of combat over the past week along the border of the two Southeast Asian nations.

Thailand is stepping up efforts to inspect domestic shipping vessels in a bid to prevent fuel and military supplies being diverted to Cambodia as the border tension between the two nations persists.

The Royal Thai Army says there will be no ceasefire “until Cambodia ceases its hostilities and attacks against Thai troops and civilians in the border area.”

President Donald Trump says Thai and Cambodian leaders have agreed to renew a truce after days of deadly clashes threatened to undo a ceasefire he helped broker earlier this year

While Cambodia also maintains it’s safe to visit, beyond its border zones, a report from yesterday, December 15 by France 24 announced that a Thai fighter jet bombed a civilian camp around two hours’ drive from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat, considered one of the most magnificent wonders in Asia.
