# Thailand and Cambodia’s leaders agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, after five days of combat along their jungle-clad frontier that has killed at least 36 people. Nearly 300-thousand people have fled as the two sides fired artillery, rockets and guns in a battle over the long-disputed area, which is home to a smattering of ancient temples. The flare-up was the deadliest since violence raged sporadically from 2008 to 2011 over the territory, claimed by both sides because of a vague demarcation made by Cambodia’s French colonial administrators in 1907.
