Thailand-Cambodia Fighting Forces Thousands to Flee
She knows the routine well. In the event of an attack, she would go to the bunker in her village in the Thai province of Surin. The village chief would be the emergency warning system. That was how it worked in 2011, when she was forced to flee during another bloody clash between Cambodia and Thailand.
But this time things feel different.
Ms. Lamun, 68, is now one of more than 131,000 people in Thailand who have had to evacuate their homes. She has spent the past four days at a university campus in Surin, where a makeshift evacuation site has been set up.
Ms. Lamun said her house was the closest one in Surin to Prasat Ta Muen Thom, the temple where Cambodian and Thai troops first exchanged gunfire on Thursday. (Thais call the temple Prasat Ta Muen Thom, while Cambodians call it Prasat Ta Moan Thom.) For the first time ever, Ms. Lamun said, she was considering moving out of her home permanently.
'I thought everything was settled then,' she said, speaking of the previous conflict, which lasted from 2008 to 2011. 'I didn't think it would happen a second time.'
In recent days, Cambodia and Thai forces have been fighting each other in one of the deadliest border clashes ever between the two Southeast Asian neighbors. Since Thursday's attacks, at least 34 people have died. In Cambodia, 35,000 people have fled their homes.

Toa Payoh fire: 7, including child and fireman, brought to hospital; gunman in Bangkok shooting 'had grudge', Thai police said: Singapore live news
Local and international news and updates curated by Yahoo Singapore. In the latest update on the Toa Payoh fire, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said on its Facebook page that seven people have been conveyed to hospital, including a child and a fireman. SCDF said, "Two persons from the affected unit on the 10th floor and three others from neighbouring units were assessed for smoke inhalation — one of whom also sustained burn injuries. All five were conveyed to Singapore General Hospital (SGH). In addition, a child from a neighbouring unit was assessed for smoke inhalation and conveyed to KK Women's and Children's Hospital. "During the firefighting operation, a firefighter experienced fatigue and felt unwell. He was conveyed to SGH as a precaution." The cause of the fire is under investigation. Earlier, a man who shot five people dead at Bangkok's Or Tor Kor market "had a personal grudge" against security guards there who he believed scratched his car, Thai police said. Four security guards and a stall holder were killed in the incident at the food market in northern Bangkok on Monday (28 July). The man's wife has a stall at the market and he shot himself dead in the head after walking away from the scene and sitting on a bench. Thailand's army accused Cambodia Tuesday (28 July) of violating an hours-old truce. The former said that clashes continued despite a deal meant to end the bloody fighting at their borders. Following peace talks in Malaysia on Monday, both sides agreed an unconditional ceasefire would start at midnight to end fighting over a smattering of ancient temples in disputed zones along their 800km border.

The sinkhole at Tanjong Katong Road South has been filled and testing is ongoing to prepare the stretch of road for use. Herman Ching, director of national water agency PUB's water reclamation (network) department, told reporters late on Monday (28 July) that the sinkhole was refilled early in the day with liquefied stabilised soil, which is made of soil, cement and water. When poured into the sinkhole, it will fill all the voids in a matter of hours and eventually form a 'competent soil-like material'. 'This material will provide the strength needed for road construction later,' he reportedly said. On PUB's Facebook page, it said that it's "conducting rigorous tests and scans to detect underground cavities and verify ground stability". It added that "the tests are: 1. ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scan, which uses radio waves to assess the subsurface layers; 2. probing, which involves drilling into the ground to detect the ground condition and presence of any voids; and 3. seismic scanning to record sound waves underground, to identify anomalies that might indicate voids." Meanwhile, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) will carry out an independent investigation into the sinkhole that formed in Tanjong Katong Road South, said National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat.
