"In a Facebook post, Cambodia's Ministry of Defence also rejected as fake news a claim from the Thai military that it was using foreign mercenaries to operate suicide drones in its attacks on targets in Thailand. The Ministry of National Defence of Cambodia would like to reject propaganda disseminated on the Thai 2nd Army Area Facebook page, which accused Cambodia of using foreigners to help launch FPV [first person view] drones in the Cambodian-Thai border conflict, the ministry said."
"The newspaper reported that Thai forces opened fire in the Ta Moan, Ta Kra Bei and Thmar Daun areas of Cambodia's Oddar Meanchey province. It also reported Thai shelling in the Phnom Khaing and An Ses areas of the country's Preah Vihear province, as well as the areas of Prey Chan Village and Boeung Trakuan in nearby Banteay Meanchey province. No new casualties were reported following the renewed fighting."
"At least 20 people have been killed across both countries, with nearly 200 more wounded, since fighting resumed on Monday. An estimated 600,000 people have also been displaced on both sides of the Thai-Cambodia border since the breakdown of a peace agreement brokered by Trump in October.

Cambodia denies preparing to launch Chinese-made missiles or employing foreign fighters amid the fifth day of border clashes with Thailand. Cambodian officials accused Thai forces of renewed shelling and gunfire across Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear and Banteay Meanchey provinces in early Friday attacks. No new casualties were reported following those strikes. At least 20 people have been killed and nearly 200 wounded since fighting resumed, and an estimated 600,000 people have been displaced on both sides of the border. Cambodia's Ministry of Defence labeled claims of using foreign mercenaries and FPV drones as propaganda and fake news. Thailand's caretaker prime minister confirmed plans to speak with US President Donald Trump.
