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.

Fighting between Thailand and Cambodia entered its fourth day on Thursday as both sides waited for a promised telephone call from U.S. President Donald Trump, who says he believes he can again end the conflict between the two Southeast Asian nations.

Meanwhile, Thailand has 493 military aircraft compared with Cambodia’s 25, with Bangkok operating modern fighter jets like the Saab Gripen and F-16s, plus transport aircraft and helicopters. Where Phnom Penh does have more numbers are rocket projectors, with 463 to 26, suggesting its priority is artillery and ground-based firepower.

SINGAPORE: Singapore has called on Thailand and Cambodia to exercise restraint and for both sides to resolve their differences through dialogue amid escalating border clashes.
