The UN Security Council has decided to gather for an emergency meeting to discuss the latest violence on the border between Thailand and Cambodia. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of 15 individuals in Thailand and one in Cambodia, leading to the evacuation of over 120,000 people from the affected areas. The violence, which involved the exchange of artillery and rocket fire, marks the most severe military conflict between the two Southeast Asian countries in over a decade. Both countries have accused each other of initiating the conflict, which has caused damage to a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Preah Vihear temple. Diplomats from the United Nations have confirmed plans for an emergency meeting to address the situation. The United States and China have called for an end to the hostilities, with China expressing deep concern over the ongoing conflict.
