Thailand’s prime minister says that border clashes with Cambodia could lead to war. Meanwhile, Cambodia is claiming that Thailand is committing war crimes, using cluster munitions and heavy weaponry inside its territory.

Ngerntra Pranoram: “We were looking after my mother at home, and we heard gunshots, 'bang, bang, bang,' booming loudly, and then continuous 'boom, boom' sounds of explosions.
