Cambodia’s government has accused Thai forces of firing on a Cambodian border community on Nov. 12, killing at least one villager and raising fresh doubts about the uneasy peace between the two Southeast Asian countries.

According to a statement from Cambodia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Thai soldiers fired on the Cambodian village of Prey Chan late on Wednesday afternoon, killing one villager and injuring three more in what the ministry described as an unprovoked attack on civilians.
