At least 14 Thai nationals lost their lives and 46 others sustained injuring during military clashes that took place near Thailand-Cambodia border on Thursday, according to a deputy spokesperson from Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health.

Thailand’s Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin confirmed that 13 civilians and one soldier were among the deceased persons. He strongly condemned the attacks, which reportedly targeted civilians and a hospital, and blamed Cambodia for it. Thepsuthin urged the Cambodian government to stop what he called “war crimes” and to respect the principles of peaceful coexistence.

The skirmish reportedly begun after a landmine explosion on Wednesday that injured five Thai soldiers. The tensions have since escalated, with both countries expelling each other’s ambassadors. The incident has marked a serious diplomatic fallout.
