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-backed peace deal that now looks on the brink of complete collapse.

At least eight people have been killed since the latest skirmishes began, according to reports from both sides. By Tuesday, the fighting had spread to more points along the disputed border, with accusations of rocket strikes and drone attacks in some areas.

About 400,000 people living along the border that divides the Southeast Asian countries have been evacuated in the latest flare-up.

And Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow hinted the clashes could escalate, telling CNN in a sit-down interview that military action would continue “until we feel that sovereignty and territorial integrity are not challenged.”

The fighting, over decades-old competing territorial claims along their 500-mile (800-kilometer) land border is the heaviest between Thailand and Cambodia since a deadly five-day conflict in July.

The already shaky peace agreement, signed in October in the presence of US President Donald Trump, who hailed it as proof of his ability to end wars, now looks in danger of disintegrating.

Thailand and Cambodia are fighting again, leaving a Trump-brokered peace agreement on brink of collapse. What happened?
