BANGKOK: Thai Defense Ministry spokesperson Surasant Kongsiri said on Thursday that the ongoing border clashes with Cambodia have left nine Thai soldiers dead and more than 120 people injured.

The clashes have displaced nearly 200,000 Thai civilians, who have taken shelter in refugee camps. Three refugees have been reported dead, and a total of 849 refugee camps have been set up so far, said Surasant at a press briefing.
Meanwhile, nearly 200 hospitals and clinics have been affected to varying degrees.

Thailand’s 2nd Army Area Command said in a social media post on Thursday that the clashes are still ongoing, with Cambodian forces firing on multiple locations in Thailand’s Ubon Ratchathani and Sisaket provinces.
