Cambodian PM's wife attends funerals of soldiers killed in Thai border clashes

The Southeast Asian nations' longstanding border conflict reignited this month, killing 23 people in Thailand -- almost all soldiers -- and 21 civilians in Cambodia, according to official counts. Cambodia has not officially announced that any of its troops have been killed since the fighting broke out on December 7. But a post on Prime Minister Hun Manet's Facebook page late Wednesday said first lady Pich Chanmony had paid "tribute to the soldiers who died in the battle to defend the territory from the invading Thai enemy".
