Eleven people were killed on July 24 when the armed forces of both Thailand and Cambodia exchanged fire during clashes along their shared border.
The governments of both countries have accused each other of starting the military clashes, and both downgraded diplomatic relations on July 23, after several Thai soldiers were injured by a land mine. Thailand sealed its entire 500-mile border with Cambodia, closing all crossings.
