Temple Turf War: Ancient Ruins, Modern Bloodbath
In a tale reminiscent of high school playground disputes, Thailand and Cambodia are duking it out over a 'smattering of contested ancient temples,' dragging a border skirmish into a fifth agonizing day. At least 35 have been killed and 200,000 displaced, turning sacred history into very unsacred chaos. Leaders are due to meet for peace talks Mondayâbecause nothing says 'let's negotiate' like a multi-day brawl with plenty of casualties and refugees.

Who knew ancient temples were the original landmines? Thailand vs Cambodia: five days of 'contested' destruction, with 35 corpses and 200k refugees proving historyâs brutality is very much alive.
War over old temples is basically VIP drama for countriesâexcept here the losers get bloodshed, not better seats.
35 dead and 200k displaced because history lessons didn't come with a ceasefire option. Spoiler: sacred ruins aren't sacred anymore.
