Armed clashes on the remote, disputed border between Cambodia and Thailand killed at least 12 people on Thursday, in a dramatic escalation of tensions that threatens to erupt into a broader conflict.

BANGKOK -- Thai and Cambodian leaders will meet in Malaysia for talks to end hostilities, a spokesperson for the Thai prime minister’s office said Sunday. This comes following pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to end a deadly border dispute, now in its fourth day, which has killed at least 35 people and displaced more than 218,000.

Thai and Cambodian soldiers have clashed along the two countries' border in a major escalation of a festering dispute over territory that killed least 14 people, mostly civilians.

Both countries' foreign ministers agreed that no other country should be involved in the issue, Mohamad Hasan said.

Cambodia and Thailand will meet in Malaysia later Monday for peace talks after days of deadly clashes on their disputed border have sent civilians scrambling for safety and relations between the two neighbors cratering.

Thailand and Cambodia traded accusations Saturday of fresh attacks as deadly border clashes entered a third day, leaving at least 33 people dead and more than 168,000 displaced, as international pressure mounted on both sides to reach a ceasefire.

Acting Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai accused Cambodia of laying new landmines in the disputed area, resulting in an injury to a Thai soldier.
